there will be a couple other member cars there that will be adding to that power. I think we should shoot for at least 5000hp.

I can see it now, fire department rolls up, jumps off the trucks, grabs their hoses and air packs and waits... smoke clears, and there are five or six of the biggest grins every produced...

Mine will be ready, though it sometimes is a different term, rollstop, or roll stop...same thing... Coreys electrical guy has a great way of wiring it in... He taps into the horn power, uses a switch, and when you flip the switch, the horn quits working... Stage, tap the horn, if it beeps, no line lock, no beep good to go...push the brake, hit the horn, and smoke em up...

Yeah just make sure you don't have the switch armed at an intersection when you blast the horn at someone.... You may end up doing unintentional donuts...

:paddl e:<<<<<<everybody else.. < me after that little stunt...

I actually opted for the protected flip stop switch and it will be mounted in an out of the way spot where it shouldn't be able to be inadvertently toggled open and then toggled on...

will you get one of those sweet NRE videos too? I just spent 2hrs on youtube. haha

It should be roadable in the next 10 days or so.

Makes sense! Everytime I read a article or story about that engine and it being like a 3XX CI, I think to myself what the hell! I thought speedster was using a 427? But I'm still not sure

Still would be funny...

Yes, the SST will be there since it is registered as Supercar #009. Those videos are pretty addicting and you sometimes lose a sense of how truly advanced these setup are. 1000+HP and 20+mpg with air conditioning all on 91 octane pump gas.

We basically went down in CI sizing. Orginally thought 454/440, then 427, 418, 406 and came up with 388. Pretty awesome bore/stroke relationship and incredibly efficient in a boosted setup. Large piston surface likes to be pushed with boost. Compare the 388 TT at 15 psi with the Alien 427 TT at the same 15 psi. The numbers tell the tale.


Also if you were so inclined you could quickly change the cam and turbos and run the thing up in the 8-8.5k rpm range for some truly sick track runs.
