This race had been long coming. we tried to run about 4 months ago but its when I broke the trans. Finally met up and did some runs. His car is VERY well put together, Katech engines 427, worked LS7 heads, Cam, MSD manifold, E85, suspension, RPM built trans, wot box, polished diff gears, race brakes, drag pack. Dynoed around 625whp/530wtq. Here I am on 93 octane with a little octanium, makes around ~645whp/470wtq with the obvious P1sc Procharger, Shelby manifold, full exhaust, dragpack, brakes, built 6r80 with circle D converter. 2 40 rolls.

Wot box allows him to powershift really well......that and he’s a Trans Am series racecar driver. Which is pretty cool.

I mean... power adder vs all motor, expected outcome.

No way is he running bottom 10’s like you.

But, Orange ftw.

Similar power. I wasn’t on E85 nor ms103 like I used to run before. He ran 11.0 at like 125, soon after he found a couple partially clogged injectors and was only putting out about 550whp. Now cleaned up and retuned it’s 625whp. He’s pulled nicely on a couple 10.80s cars recently, a mustang and an M3.

You realize at the power levels and speeds theyre at, a car length is barely a tenth in the 1/4.

Also, they make somewhat similar power, trading power and torque advantages. I wonder what a dig race would look like on a well prepped surface. Camaro holeshot with mustang top end charge maybe?

And it’s hard to say how it would go at the track for these 2 cars. I will say my car does good at the track, it’s primarily what it’s set for and how it’s been tuned/dialed in

Thank you for the insight, you’re right, an auto centrifugal car on the freeway has no advantage over an all motor, lower rpm, heavier, stick shift car.














That was total sarcasm btw.

I'm guessing he didn't spray because it wouldn't have been close?

No spray on his. No E85 on my car.

This x100.

OP good kill but I must admit how much ID LOVE to have his motor package in a c5 Z06 at around 2900 lbs.

That combo would be a BLAST and murder most people on the street (and track).

Def, that motor in a light light chassis would be VERY fun

I think you're forgetting that the n/a engine in this scenario is significantly larger than the other and it makes more torque n/a than the centri car. I'd be willing to bet the n/a engine here holds it's torque much longer than you realize.
