Simply awesome. That 15" conversion makes these cars look so mean!

Pics from Texas Camaro Revolution 2013

More pics from earlier this year. This was my first run on the new 15" rear set up so I ran it conservatively and still ran 10.06 to win the Unlimited class. Owen took 2nd and David took 3rd for an ARD clean sweep!

LONG story! Heh! This car started out several yrs back as #1 of the Hennessy HPE650's then became #2 of their HPE800's (it was actually started first and finished concurrently with#1) then I got involved with ARD to do a full rebuild and it has evolved into what it is now. I finally decided it was time to get a proper thread going on it and start pumping in the info.

Recent dyno

Raised the boost to 23psi plus a 75shot (primarily for cooling and spooling!) and we're over 1500crank hp, 1244hp at the tire. We've always had a problem trying to keep the rpm sensor reading properly when we dyno my car so the torque reading spikes off the chart right after the nitrous fires then comes back in. If you plot a line from where it goes vertical across to where it starts tracking correctly you get the real idea. Looks to be around 1150-1200 torque at the wheel even with some tire spin. (Still haven't touched the direct port!)

The 75 shot is a little rich by design, on boost only the A/F ratio is spot on.
