Per my builder “Mihovetz” says the issue is the crank. Stock crank is only good to 7200. That’s because it isn’t center counter weighted like the 4.6 cranks. It had nothing to do with windage. Birddoc’s car has/had the Winberg crank since 2015 maybe longer. For example Voodoo is wet sump and spins to 8000+ with warranty.

Hopefully it doesn’t snap before I get to run my buddies turbo yote.
Get yourself a better rear tire and run it.
Get some video for us.
Shame youre so far away. I'd run you on my 750 setting for fun.

You have a GT500? I don’t think 750 would be worth my fuel if being honest
Nope. TT coyote 10 speed.
750 setting would make for a race much closer than you'd imagine.
Debate time!! Lmfao

Probably 2 buses 60-160. I ran a Whipple one made 800 and it wasn’t close.
Really think so huh? Shifting gears with 20" white letter radials?
I'd bet large sums of money as pictured, you'd have no chance. Even at 750.
I mean it’s a street car. So yeah I assume you are probably on 20s or 19s as well. I don’t think it will be close. You are also probably heavier.
I’d estimate a TT 10sp car would put a couple buses on a manual Whipple car at the same power 60-140
Have you even tried to put any power down with those tires?

3.08s going in next week so that should help.
Good question.
According to the KB they take less power to turn but I know of more big twin screw cars breaking cranks than TVS cars. JDM double keyed my crank but over 1200hp/7200rpm the stock crank is stressed and the big twin screws can get you there faster.

The variable with big power GT500s is driving and tires. But a turbo auto s550 is fast from a roll

All I know is what he told me, plus he stated the exact same thing to Shawn Fischer. I actually have a Winberg billet crankshaft in my engine, so I don't have to worry about snapping the crank snout off turning a bigger blower. I also know John uses Byrant for his shafts and I do know he does have something different added to them. I doubt John would tell me or another person why not to take the engine above a specific RPM with the exact same reason for each of us, while also telling us both how he found this out in the first place. These conversations between us were not at the same time and place they were two separate conversations at two different times with the same topic. A balanced engine..........is a balanced engine regardless of RPM.
The Voodoo engine has a different block compared to the 5.4 or 5.8 GT500 blocks and the differences in how oil parks itself in the block at high RPM I'm sure is different between the 5.2 Voodoo and the GT500 engines. Also the Voodoo is a flat plane crank so I'd be willing to bet the windage is significantly different which would cause a totally different situation in how oil parks itself in that engine effective changing how the oil moves back to the oil pan
Doubtful. Probably just lots of street takeovers.
I have a Whipple Trackhawk..... Wanna line up for some $$$$$$ 60-130 mph be a good race.
I got $$$ on u bud lol
I only do 60-200 for $ races. If that hawk doesn’t make 1200 don’t waste my time.
