OK, this guy has money to burn. But if I had his money, I'd prolly do the same thing:

I can't begin to imagine what that much power feels like. It's gotta be so hard to restrain yourself so you don't go F*ck yourself into a pole.

Repost, but kickass none the less
I am suprised he gets that much out of a centrifical supercharger. They are so inificient.
I know I cant spell. I just dont care that much.

I agree with you Makr, but remember they didn't post any dyno readings, with an excuse of break-in period. Still, you think by now that thing has been broken in, and they'd offer the owner a FREE dyno just for their website bragging rights...
Yes, if they were puting down that kind of power, they would be screaming it from the rooftops.

Don't forget there is an air to water intercooler inside the intake manifold on this car (and its twin).

Ya, that's Robs car. From what he told me, it was 800hp.
Not 1,000. :conf
I would be shocked if it was 600 hp.

1000 bhp
800 whp
= 20% loss, not unheard of.

He would need to be pumping 29 psi out of that little vacuum cleaner fan. No fuckin way. 20% drivetrain loss, time to step up from the 1923 model T.

I was talking Crank HP.
So, like 650 RWHP.
He uses a combination of Supercharger and NAAAWWS...
So, I don't know.

It's bogus.
My word is final and there shall be no more posts to this thread. Everybody back to your business, there is nothing to see here.
