[QUOTE="JetmechF16, post: 16242217, member: 46819"] Well after being a back burner project for years, I finally got around to finishing up the Cobra. I first got it back in 2014, traded my '06 Z06 for it and lots of cash. It was then a teksid block twin turbo build. That sounded awesome until a rod knock forced me to garage it and start tearing it down. Turned out the block was trash, turbo kit looked like it was designed by a 5-year old, and I'm pretty sure the fuel system was thought up after a few bud-light 30-packs in a trailer park. I then decided to scrap everything and start over from scratch. $30k and several years later I ended up with a 5.3 big bore stroker with a Procharger, RPM-built T56, and a complete custom BBRC fuel system. Today, I finally got it tuned by Robert at Vendetta Speed in Spring, TX. Turns out the blower pulley I received was bigger than I thought, the car tapped out at 15 psi instead of the expected 23+. At 15 psi, 21 degrees timing, 6200 rpms, she still put down [size=6][color=#ff0000][b]744 rwhp[/b][/color][/size] in 98 degree humid Houston weather. Peak torque was [size=6][color=#ff0000][b]662 rwtq[/b][/color][/size] at 5700 rpm. E85 of course. Here's the video: [MEDIA=youtube]M_LfYOIvhuY[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
