Default Bought this 1000HP c5z06

Its an animal i'll tell yah. It has a LQ9 iron block done out with a tr6060 trans from a ZR1 and stage 4 diff with meth and a F1A procharger. http://tinypic.com/r/2ic9k0l/5
http://tinypic.com/r/14uxagg/5
Made 810RWHP on a mustang dyno here in Canada at plus 35celcius and was running rich and the belt was slipping at 19psi. Goes to 21PSI but didn't make it. So at least on the worst day possible it puts out 810. The guy i bought it off of said it will do 880 if not belt slip so forth i believe him. I have a video of it on the dyno but not sure how to post vids.

850rwhp converts to about a thousand crank. It is a rush foresure. Im running 20s on the rear that are Nitto Invo and they are useless can only get traction in fourth and thats starting in fourth.

Sounds ok. Just don't go bragging that you built it. The truth always
comes out.
Nice ride.

The tires look a bit stretched. You may want to try wider ones for more grip.

The OP should be really glad he has the tr6060 tranny cause the T56 is crap and certainly wouldn't hold up well with a 1000HP car.

Im not the type to go bragging i built it. Where did that comment come from. I have built fast cars my whole life and have sunk thousands into each car and sold for a loss this time i finally came ahead. Its nice now i have someone elses hard earned time into it and am glad enough to be the new owner of it. I had the exact same car same color same year 3 years ago and and sold it due to could never get the hood aligned cause was a salvaged vette. So now i have a perfect car. The only bragging i will be doing is this dyno sheet she put down and could do much better once i get this new pully installed to stop that belt slipping.

As you can see on the dyno chart it drops off at 5700 rpm cause of belt slip. Revs to 6660 so there is power left but need that new pully.

The rear rims are 11 inch wide I forged Astra wheels. Can you get them stretched to fit 345s anybody know i would like to keep them they are very nice. Meaning get a 1 inch rim piece welded on.

Its not going to matter how wide you make them. You are going to need smaller rims and better tires. At minimum you are going to need a 17" rim if not a 15". 20's are not going to hook

Yes your right smaller rims on the rear for drag racing foresure. Honestly guys does it really make a difference running those skinnies on the front for dragging. They are not really doing much as far as hooking goes. So why change them up less handling i see.

Cool,,and I like the color too!! The skinnies up front can make a small difference as the much smaller profile(usually pumped up a bit as well) make for a much smaller contact an a noticeable reduction in rolling resistance.Nothing major but every little bit helps!Enjoy

Beautiful car. How about a couple more pictures? You can never have too much horsepower.
