1,870 HP so far.. New Texas Mile Build
Top Speed Corvette C5 Z06
Built and Tuned by Hinson Motorsports 4-27-2012 We have arrived at the Ohio Mile! http://hinsonsupercars.com/Images/C5Racecar37.JPG http://hinsonsupercars.com/Images/C5Racecar36.JPG http://hinsonsupercars.com/Images/C5Racecar35.JPG http://hinsonsupercars.com/Images/C5Racecar34.JPG 3-23-2012 Unfortunately, we had to postpone the trip to Texas. We simply ran out of time to test before the race, and that is a long haul to ride untested. So we're planning to attend the Ohio Mile, which has 4 events this year. We'll be tested and ready. http://hinsonsupercars.com/Images/C5Racecar33.jpg 3/23/2012 New numbers are in! 2,246 HP @ 7,800 RPM 34 psi http://hinsonsupercars.com/Images/EngineDyno1.jpg http://hinsonsupercars.com/Images/C5Racecar32.jpg 3-20-2012 We made our first pulls on the engine dyno! We made 1,870 horsepower on low timing and 27psi. We're turning up the boost and timing tomorrow. We'll run out of injector around 2,400 horsepower. Special thanks to Young's Performance, Lane Culver, Butler Performance, Ryan Carpenter, Buddy Anderson, and Noah Mitros for making this happen so quickly. 3-20-2012 We are headed for the Texas Mile on March 23-25! We are thrashing to complete the project now (3/20/12). We ran 224 mph on low boost with our previous build. We're looking to beat our own record and eventually compete for the world record for the fastest piston powered car. This new car is a combination of C5 and C6 parts resulting in extreme performance. We have built on the information gained from our previous car, and this ride is looking to push the boundaries for standing mile racing. http://hinsonsupercars.com/Images/C5Racecar30.jpg Build Specs Shortblock 427ci RHS Aluminum Tall Deck Block (Assembly & Machining by Butler Performance) Callies Ultra Center Counter Weight Billet Crankshaft Aluminum Connecting Rods Diamond Pistons Custom High Capacity Oil Pan from Doug Lee Engineuity Top End TEA Trickflow 245cc Cylinder Heads Crower Roller Rocker Arms Comp Pushrods Custom Comp Solid Roller Camshaft GM EFI Carb Style Intake Manifold Turbo System Custom Turbo Setup with 118mm Turbo 5" Downpipe Custom Air/Water Intercooler Tial Blow Off Valves Tial Wastegate Computer & Fuel Holley EFI Dominator System Bosch 160 lb Injectors FuelLab Fuel Pumps & Regulator Transmission & Rear Differential RPM TR6060 Transmission RPM ZR1 Differential with Quaiffe LSD SPEC Twin Disk Clutch Roll Cage & Body 25.5 Roll Cage Custom Adjustable Rear Wing Wheels & Tires True Forged Wheels 18x12 & 18x10 Hoosier R6 Tires 345/35/18 & 275/35/18 http://hinsonsupercars.com/images/C5Racecar1.JPG This is a custom tall deck 427ci solid roller engine built in partnership with Butler Performance.

Maybe just fab'in up a piece to attach the top roof to the rear deck (essentially creating a coupe type airstream)... |
Crazy HP numbers mang! Great looking car and the Fab work is out of this world. Looks so clean and well put together. Great job guys.
|
After all that work/money/time, why bother with an unmodified GM manifold? Seems like a custom piece (equal runner length with a plenum) would be a drop in the bucket compared to the price of the build so far, especially since you have already given up on the stock hood.
Not trying to hate, just wondering out loud. I love this build and I am looking forward to seeing the mile times! Jack |
