I drove my new combination on a four hour trip to HorsePower by Herman yesterday and wore a smile all the way back! It was 101* in the shop yesterday and I have a catted exhaust system. It was using 93 octane fuel with some Torco added. I was not thinking it was a day for big power. There was no ice involved, and Herman even warmed it up pretty well before mashing it. Here is my reward for going green:
Yes, an unbelievable 741 horsepower and 646 foot pounds on pump gas in the sweltering heat, and the fuel pumps were only at 65% with stock fuel rails and lines.
Here is a clip of the car on the first pull at 707 HP. It was still very rich at that point, but it did have enough power to get the better part of my tire rental fee - sorry Herman. Here is a short clip of what was happening to the tires as they were howling on the dyno (again, sorry Herman), and below is a picture of Herman hard at work on the what now is a pump gas beast:
I can not thank Herman and his crew enough. We made the best of one hot day in MD. It could make the 800 hp mark when the engine is a little looser and the weather is cooler. Stay tuned for possible updates in the late fall. Hats off to Herman!
