Will post the video tomorrow but we did a baseline to see where this car is at in az. And to make sure everything is super happy motor wise before we tear it apart........... It made in horrible, dyno dream crushing, chappy az and not east coast inflated numbers 1026 rwhp!!! It was also humid as hell today and I will post all the run conditions tomorrow so everyone knows all the information. Don't worry this isn't corvette forum were you hear a crazy number and don't see run data haha. All dyno sessions will be at another shop to sway any potential well you fluffed the numbers stuff. We were all shocked as i thought personally upper 800 maybe a low 900 rwhp was what this thing had in it.

I was shocked when Joe told me the baseline results. I had no idea the car was making 1krwhp when I sent it off... I think Jason sent some HP when he sent the hood to me.

I'm excited to see what we can do with turbos! We have to make 1027 with them.

It will need a SERIOUS driver mod, an automatic, a roll cage, and a 9" rear (in the works) and I would still need to hit 9s first...

Joe, if you get a message saying to redo the interior in pink, please don't. My wife said she was going to contact you to get that done.

Thanks for the update Joe!

When you get the front end off, you will see an oil cooler suspended from some brackets that look like they were made by a kindergartner. I deleted the factory oil cooler and am using a small oil cooler instead. Feel free to move it or do whatever it takes to get it all to work.

Remember - this is your canvas. I still have one kidney left and I hear you can have half your liver removed and it will grow back.

This is probably a dumb question.. I know that to hold more hp/tq you need to change out the clutch.. what is the eqivulant for the clutch on the auto?

to hold this power level if you want an auto you would need to look into a th400 or a glide to do it w/o rebuilding it a lot. 4l80's are great but at this level even they have their limitations.

Autos have clutch packs in them along with other parts that can be upgraded depending upon your goals. That clutch is beautiful! I have a strong suspicion my car will be getting an auto in a year or two...
