I'm curious to see who has the current no cams, no headwork, stock bottom end, no upgraded HGs, No Aquamist, basically totally factory motor with a bolt on TT kit with 93 octane highest whp car?
Who's got the record? And whats the whp rating?
Mod list would be helpful as well, but not necessary.

Some searching will get you what you want. I know BamBam on here has 490whp on pump gas and 10psi on a Greddy TT kit-tuned by AAM. I know there is 1 APS TT with over 500whp on the stock block but Im not sure if he runs pump gas. And I know of another APS TT with water injection who ran something around 550whp....

BigBri did 550whp on 100octane with Aquamist and 500ish whp with aquamist on 91 I talked with him at length about it, he had cams as well as 91 octane. So he's out... haha.
I've been searching a little... Just figured I'd finally just ask.

Thanks tho
Thanks tho
maybe a good opportunity to take another look at the available kits. water cooled turbos, complete out of box kit (fuel system, EMS, boost controller, BOV....), retain front impact bar. Maybe give GRD a call

I am running a stock block (with Plenum spacer) and pushing 490rwhp/452torque @ 10 PSI on 93 octane. This is a conservative tune as I am running a little bit rich all the way through the RPM range.
I am certain we can get another 10 - 20 HP out of it with the same boost level with a slightly more aggressive a/f tune. I have a new engine being completed in a few weeks. Before putting that in we will probably up the boost to 12 or 13 and see what we can get out of her. I feel the stock block should be good up to 525 - 550 rwhp. But will not have the time to run it over a period of time to find out how reliable that would be.
Please keep in mind, while my block is stock, I have a whole host of other modifications to manage the engine functions (HKS F-Con & EVC), cooling (custom oil & power steering cooling units) and exhaust flow Test pipes, Open Dumps & 3" True Dual Exhaust). Check out my sig for most of the major mods.

Just curious as I do not run 10PSI all day, but only on the track. Daily I run 7.5. Saves some stress on the engine for those long 500 - 1000 mile trips I do every month or so.
