Default Remember The Midyear Corvette Dyno Run

There was a video that was posted on here a few years ago of a blue midyear vette that was on the dyno. The guy had his own dyno in his garage and was shooting the video of himself making the run. The dyno is one that is up in the air and not in the floor. The car would literally jump off of the dyno if not strapped down.
Hopefully someone has the link to the video. I thought I had it saved on my computer but cannot find it now.

Can you help out on this one?

That's Steve B.....632C2.....I've been in that garage. That is one badboy Vette!

I think the newest version makes 917 RWHP capped up WITHOUT the N20!

The old 540 was making 1192 RWHP with the juice on!

He drives it to work and has recently built another midyear. This one has a small block 383 with iron manifolds that makes like 377RWHP!!

Do a search or send him a note.

That would be the car. I remember it making over 1100 RWHP. Hopefully the video is still out there.

I did some searching on the forum and found the original post but the link to the video no longer works. The text said that there had been over 25000 downloads of the video and had exceeded its bandwidth so it was coming down. Apparently never to return.
