Vette makes 949 RWHP
Daren put the Vette on the dyno at school today and made a couple of pulls to see what kind of power we are making with the IRS before we remove it in favor of a straight axle.
Much to my surprise, on the second pull, it put down 949 RWHP at 7295 RPM. That number is N/A with an auto trans.
Wonder what it would make at the wheels with a 400 shot of juice?

Wow almost 1000HP from a 454ci at the rear wheels, that would be well over a 1000HP at the crank, what are the specs on the motor ?

Wow...that's some killer power!
It's going to be great to see the solid axle HP numbers. I really wonder if they eat that much? From some Super Stocker folks I've talked to they seldom gain much, if anything (one even lost going from a Dana 60 IRS like mine to a solid 12 bolt...which was REALLY strange!) going from an IRS to a solid as far as performance goes....but I've never seen back to back dyno numbers. This will be fun!
Those BMF heads are the real deal!
