So this happened when we put it on the dyno. The guys just laughed, thought it was really cool.



The GTX4088R with twinscroll config and the S-Empire equal length tubing, with E85 and very safe timing actually produced way more power than we had anticipated. That's a pretty happy surprise. We actually had to backpedal and settle down at 8 psi of boost with literally not even starting to push the timing bc anything else seemed like it would be not necessary anyway at this point and that gives us less risk on the stock internals LS2 block than to take too much hp from it right now. At 8 psi and super soft timing still a serious and 685 rwhp (or 830hp crank if you calculate the drivetrain losses). Can't wait until we have some forged internals and push it up to 12-14-16 psi and mix in a bit of timing as well...

With that, what's left but to actually go test it out!

Mr. White,
Great build!! Just wanted to say Thanks! For what you ask, post#34 picture 2 - the motor mounts! Todd sent me them marked correctly but the "Legs" that goes to the frame were reversed sides. Your pic saved the day.

Again Great Build!! An inspiration,
Chris

After a strong season we have decided to not run this car anymore in 2015 and start on a new project.
