There is such a thing as TOO BIG. the Big BIG one would get lazy down low. but if you have a offshore race boat running at 6000RPMs all the time..............

Kenne Bell made close to 1500HP on a 5.4 Ford with the 3.6!

One thing I love about Kenne bell is the ice cold inlet air temps. We have one on Patricks 68 Camaro with a bone stock LS1, cam and 2.6 blower. It makes 535HP at the tires. And Patrick is my buddy but the man does not need a throttle, he needs a idle / wide open switch! It is all or nothing for Patrick!

And that thing has been running a few years, raced hard and put up wet, and is still running strong. And I attribute that to cool IATs

And the torque is AWESOME!

Default So I see

your are building something for a rematch on the parkway? You may have me covered this time. LOL But you know I am going to try anyway.

Rupp threw down the gauntlet on the autocross, Todd stuck his chest out for Optima, figured I would go for the street race with all my 346 cubic inches. Lets see, my motor is 5.7 and your blower alone is 3.6...yea I am feeling confident.

Can't wait to see you at RTTH.

Just to get this straight for a certain person on this forum.
Are you shooting for 8's or 8.99's?

John and I are equal owners and are funding it. No budget, we are simply getting the best of the best materials to build the best all around car one can build. This is not a budget build. No cheap parts will work on this one. We are building a Supercar, and Supercars are not cheap.

If you value R and D time. R and D time will be HEAVY. We had 100s of hours in it before we touched the real car. Labor hours will be very high. Writing 72 pages of tech in the next 12 months is a lot of hours.

We have a goal, we are only worried about the goal.

We will add up the cost at the end.
