Look, I don't know what the deal is.

I went 10.50@137 mph WHILE breaking and that with with a 1.83 60'(first pass with the turbos). I let off the gas and still went that fast, That was on 14 psi with the old turbos. The car has always 60' in the 1.60 range. Figure that out.

I made 751 RWHP on 93 octane at 14 psi with the old turbos.

I am now making 18.5 psi on 93 octane with the new bigger more efficient turbos. That is over 800 RWHP on pumpgas. I have nothing to prove. If I need a good reason to re-dyno it I will, When I am ready, I will go back to the track. Whether I make 975 hp or 1025 hp at the crank who cares. I have a 1000 hp car.

No more arguing, I am not here to BS or exagerate. It is what it is. You send me $85 and I will get a new dyno sheet for you.... but who cares, The car makes huge power and is a 9 second car, Time slip or not!

What does any of this have to do with my original question????

He hasn't hit the 200 mph, but he is looking to go faster in time not speed. Also he prefers to remain consistant in his times.

I have run low 9's in the 1/4 and run 150.with 800hp.your buddy should be going 7's with 1500hp depending on weight and tire size of course.

I am not refering to you... I am refering to Sparky doubting my car.

I have not been asking if anyone wants proof or believes my car has 1000 hp.



Anyone notice anything good for stability by lowering or raising the car for real high speeds? I assume lowering would be better, but I would need a wing tunnel to verify. :_paranoid

Lower is going to be better, but lowering the car isn't going to be nearly enough to keep it stable. Look at Nascar for some ideas, those front and rear spoilers are there for a reason, along with a very small grill area (just enough to cool the engine). They also start with a much smoother aero shape than a Chevelle.

I'm thinking a front and rear spoiler, closing off some of the grille, lowering the car as much as possible just for starters. Problem will be the spoilers aren't going to look good but you need the front to keep the air from creating lift (along with the reduced air through the grill) and you'll appreciate the rear wing/spoiler for downforce. I am not sure you can get the car stable without them at 200 mph, but I am far from an expert. I just don't see any high speed stock-bodied cars without them.

I was just answering your question.

I might just have to try to design a retractable air dam setup!! :D

You want down force for sure , I've gone around 175 many times with only
600hp you just got to have the right place like a good road course. I'm not sure how it wound feel in a street car but its awsome in a full tube chassis!!!
My concern would be brakes and well the car is built .

The motor was designed to run on NOS, so the motor only made 900 HP. He has couple of different NOS setups that he uses. Powerglide and rear end is 4.11. Actually, he used to run faster with a turbo 400 transmission on just motor, but he switched to the powerglide. In that class you can only use a single stage of NOS. The car should run faster, and they are estimating around 8.30's. Just that was the first time out, it takes time to dial in your combination. The first time he stood it on the rear bumper. He wish they change the rules, so that you can run wheelie bars. Easy to make that statement that you should be in the 7's but doing is another thing. Especially when you are breaking parts.

Whellie bars save live's.I broke a set on my pro mod and almost did the bumper act,I was able to pedal it out a little.

Come on up to Road America in October. I will be there with my 67 and a radar gun. Let's see what MPH we can do. I don't believe I have the balls (or the car) to do 200. I do think that 150 will be a blast though, if no deer run on the track.
