Thats awsome. Good old sac raceway. Was that at a test and tune? Who tuned the car?

Probably 4.10s but 4.30s wouldn’t surprise me. Real question is how much weight reduction.
Badass!

Agree. Must be a good bit of weight reduction to trap 141.

Noticed the exhaust was ditched and CF roof? I wonder if that replaced a glass roof?

Curious does swapping for a bigger TVS still make it bolt on? Or would they have specified stock blower gt500 shooting for 9s.

How much power can the gt500 handle on stock blower?

It’s a 13 or 14 GT500, that’s the stock blower.

750-800rwhp.
When I hurt an oil pump gear and forged the bottom end, I traded a welded/ported stock blower for a lightly ported Gen2R. Both were 2.3 TVS, but on E85 I made 965rwhp SAE.
Those 2.3s maxed out can make good power.

Interesting. Ive been considering having my TVS (2013) blower, plenum and TB ported.

Im on a Mod budget,lol. Wanted to do LT headers but I can get all the Port work done for half that price.

Already have 2.4 Upper, 65mmTB, JLT Intake and 3.73 gears with Corsa exhaust w/OR-X pipe.

All depends on your goals, as the XBA elbow (ported) and KB168 TB are the best choices for power in front of a weldedp/ported stock blower. Just porting what you have probably half of that potential gain.
Easily 800+ with stock cams/E85 versus 900+rwhp with built/cams/E85 in combos I’ve personally seen.
