Can't wait. I hope it works great. I am interested to hear what it sounds like.

Tuning going well so far. Going to finish dialing it in today. So far were at 1250 wheel 1100 tq with 12 lbs from the snail which is making 26 lbs in the manifold post rotors. Iats are staying cool and sub 125 on the dyno with no ice just water. Will update more once it gets wrapped up.

Ace, Been following this thread since its beginning. I gotta tell ya, 1250 WHP is mind blowing. I can't even wrap my head around those figures. I used to think my buddy's 1000 HP blown Mopar was beyond real. I can only assume that you will take EVERY possible precaution when you get this monster on the track. Be safe and keep us posted on your track adventures.

And to think I consider 750 wheel scary fast. But then again, this ZR1 will never see street duty will it?

Congrats!

All the time this is the street car. Full interior. Ac cruise control all the amenities. Last year prior to the turbo build when it was nitrous and blower at 1100 it went to Phoenix twice from Seattle and Vegas once not to mention all local driving. Like to use it as often as I can

D3 did some tuning today and netted 1430/1250 and maxed out the turbo. Boost peaked 36 and tapered to 30 we think it will hold more on the street and be closer to 1500. Iats stayed below 125 after 2 hours of tuning with no ice in the tank. Did a pull with ice and we iats were around 70 degrees so the system is very efficient. Very happy with the results look forward to getting some seat time in. Going to run it for awhile and then pull the motor and do up another short block to handle some more ponies and probably bump the rear snail up to a 106 and see if we can touch 2k with it.

No sh**?!?!? You clearly have bigger ***** than me and/or more self control. I'm pretty sure I'd wind up wrapping her around a tree or something worse. Power to ya. Be safe!

This is wretched excess and I love it! HALF that wheel power is already faster than 99% of performance cars.

That's great! I'm glad the build worked out. Sounds like success. I would love to hear what it sounds like with that turbo right at the back.

Wow, already looking to get even more power. 2,000hp is a nice goal.

Big power like this gets steel pistons right?
