9psi and over 600 WHP!
Within a few months mines going to be at this spec or slightly more, looks like the boost will have to stay down or the box with s
t itself!

Stage 3 is cam and full exhaust by the looks of it: http://www.btamotorsports.com.au/index.php/hsv-gts...
Certainly good numbers but not sure how they can build in reliability too on stock pistons? Wouldn't be surprised if that was a hero pull on race fuel...

And one other thing....
Why do Americans keep confusing RWHP with FWHP ?

Negative ghost rider those are whp numbers. Andy ADM and a couple more like myself are running a 416ci setup with the heartbeat. Matter of fact, he ran 200mph in the standing mile and 216mph with some nitrous. Try doing that with 600whp in a two ton car.Why do Americans keep confusing RWHP with FWHP ?

STPPwr CHp horsepower, corrected to 60 degrees sea level baro 29.92 in hg.
This is derived by taking RPM x torque lb/ft divided by 5252. Complicated initially but it takes into consideration the twisting force and how quickly it can be done (RPM). HP is what we need to create acceleration and maintain top speed.

Taken from the same web site you got that from STPPwr CHp horsepower, corrected to 60 degrees sea level baro 29.92 in hg.

STPTrq Clb-ft this is the twisting force, or torque that the crankshaft is exerting at any given RPM, corrected to 60 degrees sea level barometer 29.92 in hg.
I already went through this HP argument a couple times. Some of you keep saying we inflate our numbers, run 1/4 downhill, anything to discredit. First people said go see a real dyno (SRR) and you may be lucky to hit 500hp. Went there and made 632rwhp (764bhp)on the stock blower and block. Then took it to santa pod and ran an 11.2 on pretty much limp mode.
As long a I get real world results from "inflated" numbers, then I'm ok with that. I can say for a fact that my current setup is a bit more grunty at both low and high speeds.

I said "Americans", didn't mean it disrespectfully or to include you per se. Over 600whp on yours was indeed a great achievement, just a shame it didn't last but I know how that feels. There is however a big difference between 600whp and 800whp which I'm sure you will agree. I'd personally be very interested to see how yours turns out when you get it down to SRR As long a I get real world results from "inflated" numbers, then I'm ok with that.

Ah, I'm on the 6 speed auto 6l80 so will be restricted to about 550whp really.
I think it will be able to handle a bit more. But that depends on you goals and driving habits. Ever though of of upgrading it? I know some guy pushing big power actually "downgraded" to the 4L80E from the 6L90.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObROCMpUceI

I am in Germany now but going to try to get to SRR in March along with the fast show. As far as my last Engine, I think it held up well considering how much I beat on it with a remote tune and 98RON fuel. 4 years of WOT runs and countless of spirited drives were definitely worth it.

On that same Dyno (SRR), I may be in the 7-Mid 700s rwhp. It is a dyno dynamic heartbreaker which reads on average 10-14% lower than DynoJet. Yes we have those in the states as well but most use DynoJet for pub talk.

Really can't argue with numbers like that. I still say wearing a cowboy hat gives you an unfair aero advantage, though As long a I get real world results from "inflated" numbers, then I'm ok with that. I can say for a fact that my current setup is a bit more grunty at both low and high speeds.

There is only one bloke on here who harps on about US downhill 1/4's and he runs a Beemer. What can I say?As long a I get real world results from "inflated" numbers, then I'm ok with that. I can say for a fact that my current setup is a bit more grunty at both low and high speeds.
Would love to see your new set up at the pod this year? When are you going? I might join you to find out what my 585 at the wheels (SRR
) will do when I get the right diff installed. I'm all for real world stuff.MyM8V8 said:

Lol. I'm gonna guess low 11s to get started then blast into the 10s on a clean run.I already requested vacation from work starting on 16 March so it is definitely a plan to head up there for the Fast Show. I can always do the 1/4 mile here but with the altitude changes and fuel, it won't give me a proper comparison from where I was before. Oh and by the way, someone just put down 1200+RWHP on the factory TR6060.Would love to see your new set up at the pod this year? When are you going? I might join you to find out what my 585 at the wheels (SRR
