Going to Bonneville , Aug. 13th.

Hey guys, just wanted to post up and let you know I'm heading up North to attend the salt flat races.
I'll be tuning the 1,000+HP vette. The owner is attempting to hit 250+mph and set a record for a stock chassis car.

mods: 1000 HP Corvette

I'll be gone for 4 days, but I'll still be tuning mail order remotely. So, we shouldn't fall behind on tuning.

Before I leave, we'll be caught up completely.

just an fyi,
allen

Think about it, if this dude breaks the record, then we can say that our trucks our tuned by the same guy that tuned the fastest land speed record stock chassis car. :cool:

This vette is crazy, it's laying down about 1,100HP, he should meet his goal.

superflow claims it's good for around 900hp, but that is with traction issues.
We have our dyno above ground, so we're able to wrap around the suspension and axles and really get a good clamping force.
last time the car was here, the graph showed, 1011hp, or something like that.
That was on 14psi, now it's at 17psi. It's a 440ci LS engine with twin turbos, so you know it's making power regardless. It's probably 550-580 on motor alone.

To be honest, we don't care about the dyno number, we just did it once to see how much it made. Most of the dyno runs are loaded, no recorded runs to ensure the car can row through the gears and to check a/f ratio.

That car is so tight and the seat so small, it's hard to get in and out, plus the roll bar and side impact bars, damn, it's tough to get out of lol.
It's not comfortable at all, and once you're in it, you just want to get out, hahah. Now imagine being in it with all your gear and fire suit on, i bet it sux.

But, ya, it's a fast ass car!
