The track time I posted is with the stock converter and trans. I plan on better times. I got this car in June and bought a S/C by July. I had problems with the blower making excessive noise after a week. I sent it back to Vortech and they replaced the bearing. I got it back and reinstalled it, went out for a test drive and the first time I put it under boost the noise came back (ugh). So I sent it back again. There was nothing wrong with the install either. I was unbelievably pissed. Anyway after installing it the third time it was September and I only had one day at the track. I only got two runs in and the time I have posted was the second. I may get a built trans and better converter someday. I'll see how this one holds up. I'm happy at the moment with the cars performance. I definitely don't need 800 or even 600 HP to have my fun. Maybe someday when I recover from all the money I spent this summer I will buy a DSS short block. DSS is close to my House. There's alot of room for improvement but that's the fun. I also want my car to be a bit viscous but very drivable.

800 hp out of 15 lbs of boost is very possible if the engine and tranny can hold it. My buddy has a 93 GT with a 331 stroker and T76 turbo and he made 776 rwhp out of 14 lbs of boost. Only problem is that it wasnt a ball bearing turbo, so my KB walked him every time we raced.

RE: 800RWHP @ 15PSI - Yikes
that's sweeeeet. well written article too. "If you're thinking that 800 rwhp (approximately 1,000 hp at the flywheel) is too much for a street car, then perhaps you need to check what's inside your pants." hahaha
