Texas Mile Super Snake 1,000+ RWHP Dyno Video

[Van@RevanRacing]

Good Luck Van!!

Thanks Jim.

Good stuff can't wait to see it.

Looking forward to seeing you out there bro.

LMAO. Just caught it the second time I watched it. The first pull.....the guy running away as the pull started. He thinks he's going to turn around and take a pic, but ends up running away squinting from the pain in his ears. :lol::lol::lol:

This car is freakin' LOUD! The raw video that was edited had some really funny crap too but it hit the editing room floor.

Thanks for posting up the vid Van! That is just plain awesome. One day, I will do the E85 conversion on my car. I know you can buy the E85 conversion kit from Lethal Performance, but I am assuming that there is more involved than just purchasing the kit.

Really need to address the overall horsepower goal prior to making the conversion so you only do it once. Hit me up when you are ready to start considering the system.

What kind of c/r are you running? Curious what else you have into this thing to get that kind of power. Do you feel it is tapped out on power now considering the gains after the extra 3psi of boost?

Awesome sounding and performing car so far, can't wait to hear the results from the TM. FFS

Thanks FFS. We are actually running 9.5:1 compression, custom grind cams with ported and polished heads. We actually decreased the timing on that second pull with the 23 lbs of boost. 2" long tube headers really help as well.

The car is making a lot of power with low boost and low timing. The first pull on the dyno graph was only 20.6 lbs of boost and 23 degrees of timing. We've got plenty of range left for additional timing and boost.

Looks awesome

Thanks Bolt.

That beast is NASTY!! Congrats Van!!!

When is the Texas Mile?

Thanks Tony. The count down is on. Two Weeks to the Mile. Can't wait!!!

It's all good Tony. There is nothing like flat footing our cars for a mile and not worrying about the law. We plan on setting a bench mark supercharged without nitrous. Would love to see you set the record compound boosted Turbo. Nobody really has set a mark in that category.

Let's get the car ready for October. I'm not going in May. Too much already going on that month. And it's hotter than all hell in Texas in May. LOL

Thanks bro. Toyo R-888's and we've got access to some other R Compound tires while we're out there. We've got a few different video cameras we'll be running as well. Initially I hope to just post updates of progress as we approach the 200 MPH barrier.

There will be plenty of nerds there! Welcome to Lambda Lambda Lambda.........Pun intended!!

Van, I think it is safe to say the car will exceed 200mph. I think it has a couple/few hundred more whp than is needed (with ideal conditions of course).

Good luck!

If there is one thing I have learned over the years it is assume nothing. Sure, the car has a ton of power and should be able to surpass the 200 MPH barrier but we could also get out there and have a 40 knot head wind. You just never know. All of the existing 200 + MPH passes in GT500's there was a 30-35 knot tail wind present. If we have favorable conditions like a tailwind or even no wind we should hopefully hit and surpass our goal. Then we'll create a new one! :rockon:

Thanks for the good luck! We'll take all we can get and use it!:burnout:

WOW, The car sounds unbelievable, what an animal waiting to show everyone its Roar,, best of luck to you Van, will be following your progress with many other GT500 owners.. thanx for sharing

 

[Illtaketwlight]

Good Luck Van. We will have our dyno up and runing soon. If you need a place to test it. Dyno will take 1800 HP and up to 200 MPH. Would Love to see it. Make sure you go over all your safety gear when you go. 200 is no joke. Best of Luck to you. I'm sure everything will go great. Most of all, have fun.

Van - curious was the E85 from a pump? was it tested to check what the blend was?

TIA

 

[Wingrider]

All this prep and I'll bet there's still a couple rolls of duct tape and some tie wraps making the trip!
