A C5 Vette made over 1000rwhp on 13psi boost...

that's right just 13lb.

It ran a 408 stroker with 8.5:1 compression.



that is all

I wonder what a Viper motor is capable of at 13 pounds. Hmmmmm :lolcry:

It'd be safe to say around 1500hp at 13psi (aprox. 1300rwhp) would not require any rocket science, but a lot more could be made if the chequebook added another decimal point to the cost /images/graemlins/laughing.gif

you'd need around 750hp min. at the motor off boost -


no sweat :thumb:

oh - is that not an American saying?

in any event - Chads car has pushed the envelope more than any other so far -
it's far better than the next closest Viper, and on less boost than many might think (more than 13 tho)

but even that record holding giant doesn't make 750+hp without turbos or 1500hp at 13psi.... it could not be done with stock intake and without a whole host of tricks. It simply means there is still room to develop further

clearer now? :thumb:

Is this a shoulda, woulda, coulda corvette thread?

spoken like a two year old

Until you know what is possible - what do you have to aim at?

Except follow the leader?







how pioneering

Jason Heffner has led the way, and shown some pioneering spirit

BTW - EVERY worthy accomlishment started with a dream, and the big difference between me and you on this Getbit is you have the money to build something like I described but would not know where or how to do it. I know how but aren't telling you - so go figure it out and lets see how close you can get :smooch:

If you are not interested - why sabotage a thread that is based upon doable fact - not wild imaginings?
