BTW is that 805 hp your dyno numbers? Very impressive.
One of our CSX racers has a 306 CI twin turbo the puts out 760 HP to the rear wheels. Left me at the Glen like I was backing up.

It's funny - if the rib wasn't ever there, I wouldn't have worried. As it was, it hurt to have to take the grinder to my new block!
My motor made 859hp and 705lb/ft - both at 6400. The torque curved hadn't flattened out yet, so it would have made more power, but it kept breaking the damn blower belt at that point. As such, I try to shift at 6000, where it's making 805hp. This was done on a Superflow 901 engine dyno.
I have enough power now, and the 6 piston Wilwoods and 13" rotors all round pull me up well enough, but the chassis is still A LONG WAY from being dialled in, so I just hold everyone up during the corners and run away from them on the straights.....
I had a look at the gallery - there's some great stuff there. Good to see the Cobras out there being driven. Is the turbo car this one (being built in late 2001)? The chassis might look familiar...
