with the factory bumper gone and that bar in place how screwed are you if you hit something with the front end? My car spends more time on the street than anything so might matter a bit more for me
Pretty ****ed I'd say lol. My car will see street use, and I'm pretty careful when I drive. A full 8.5 cert cage is going in though. and I might even put some more bracing etc up front.
Oh yea I forgot to update this.. We had to stop the pulls at 7k due to the alternator flexing forward and trying to rip itself off the block.. We took it off and sent it back for 2 additional eyelets to be put on so we can build a brace.. At 7k it was still climbing for power..
807rwhp and 670ftlbs, 16psi, 16* of timing.. See what happens with 19-20* and about 500 more rpm. It's looking like 840's are gonna happen though, and this is on low boost.
What's super impressive is the tq curve itself.. it's like a twin screw.. lol. Very table top like.. The Holley Dominator ECU is awesome, and the engine combo has proven to be perfect, making the numbers I expected.. Not going to swap pulleys anytime soon though, but the blower has enough for 1000rwhp that's for sure, combine that with some FTW E85 and it's over..
Thanks man, the 4yr build is almost done lol.. Finally. I'm pretty impressed with the power that's for sure. I mean I guessed in the right ball park.. Didn't think it would get to the high end of it though
So if you look on other cars you guys have a bracket on top of the alternator. I don't have that that's the issue. I do have a dyno graph I'll load tonight when I'm home. Car broke 800 with ease tho. Same pulley setup as my old setup lol. Needs a 2.95" and let it eat hahaha
Wow! 800 with basically a pump gas tune that's amazing numbers there. Edit I saw you say that's with E-85 but the numbers you mentioned are good for 91 octane.
I've had the issue with the alternator flexing when I switched from a 2000 intake manifold to a 2004 2 valve intake manifold. Brackets were different.
