There are new tires out for 2013 so I'm revisiting my tire sizes. I have room to go with a 18 X 11 front wheel and a 18 X 13 rear. I could also push to 19s. I need to test a few tires and see what works out.

What size are you going to have on the exshaust tubes?? 3 inc?

Thanks, looking forward to your results.

Mark, saw this at Bubba Gumps in Maui this week. I know its old but what the hay.

Been working at Thomson's on further refinements / improvements for the 427SC package - always difficult to make the power, meet drivability requirements and control heat rejection - especially in a car that gets driven as 'gently' as Mark's.

Mayhem was a great step forward - picked up nearly 100 HP in exchange for 15 lb/ft TQ (from Red Devil) - while maintaining reasonable heat rejection.

Have several ideas - many of which can easily achieve 1000 HP - but not necessarily meet other requirements at same time. Testing (and data) will tell....

Will be fun to get new combo on dyno in near future!

Dave

Thanks --- Thats very cool.

Yes 3 inch all the way out the back. Once we get the new engine done we are going to test different headers also. Long tube vs short tube.

Mark,

What are your mufflers of choice? Borla? Based on flow / backpressure / sound?

Also, please please please do a 2nd Gen at some point! Please?

Regards,

Ty

For the guys who don't know Dave Mikels, he is one of my best friends and my secret weapon for POWER. We have known each other since we were roommates in college. On our Formula SAE car Dave was driveline and I was chassis. Humm 25 years later Dave is the Power guy and I'm the handling guy. Dave is also a great driver so we make a formidable team. We are also super competive guys so we push each other to be the best we can be.

Brain Thomson, Dave and I are kicking around a few ideas on if we need more power and how much. If I can hook it up I can always use more power. :thumbsup:

Every car I build and drive I learn something. Mayhem worked great for a “new” car. The engine ran like a freight train and the chassis needed to be tweaked to better use it.

For fun I overlaided Red Devils and Mayhems laps from OUSCI and if you pull the best theoretical out of the data. (Mayhems power and breaks with Red Devil’s cornering speeds) the lap times come down 4 seconds a lap.
I’m very excited on Camaro XVs plan to move mass around in the car and redesign all the heat exchangers.

Someone asked why a ’69 and not a ’67. I like ’69 a little better and there are more parts for a ’69.
