To run the 1/2 mile or mile events the car needs to be setup for it. Cooling mods are a must whether you are inn 4th of 5th gear. My car is 595hp/598tq. I have done 158mph in 3 events held by two different groups. The biggest unknown secret is my hood design. Those that have bought my hood will be surprised how their cars will compare to those that do not have the hood.
My build is very simple, forged internals, 2.3 whipple at 19lbs with 97 cobra cams that are timed, intake is 108lc and exhaust is at 114lc. Long tubes, magnaflow cat back, Dragon TB, jlt Cold air and tuned by Wildponymotorsorts.com.
To help so that i do not have to shiftb into 4th i have 3.27 gears and go thru the traps at 7200rpms. 3.08 might be better. I have won several races because other cars had to shift at around 150mph and i didn't and won by about 1/2 car. I have beat 700rwhp e85 CTSV's which jumped the start and i had 3 cars behind, made up a little ground in second but once i hit third i caught him, shifted to fort and put several cars on him.
I beat 770rwhp GT500's, raced two different 5.0's with paxtons on them and beat them by 1 car of two. Both cars were 650rwhp vehicle. Raced a Viper with full exhaust and we were back and forth for the lead, he had to shift before the end and i didn't. Won by 1/2 car. Raced several twin turbo Porshe's also with mid 600rwhp and beat them by a car of two.
At the below event they go by flywheel hp, i was at about 550rwhp, M122 swap at the tiime. In the side by side race i had a short in the wiring and the car would shut off even though it looks like i missed a shift. The Burgundy C6 vette i raced was 500rwhp, put several cars on him, especially when he had to shift at the end and i didn't.
