Your car makes the same power so make us proud here at corvette forum and bust his azz!

He's got the narrowbody also. Better aero. I bet it makes a huge difference having the drivetrain over the rear tires though.

It was a great run, Nice to be there at the starting line in person. Very impressive car. Not very many cars went over 200 this past weekend. I was able to get to 206 mph on my only run.

thisss. Yeapp

That FordGT is running twin 88 from what I remember they're not running full power before 1/2 but I'm sure after 1/2 the car is over 2000+rwhp to run 278mph
I think with Sinister's power level 1500-1550rwhp with right aero + traction he can get somewhere between 240-250mph in mile (6th gear 7200+rpm with the right tires)
Then need to swap those twin 72 for twin 80 to run

I remember when the Black Camaro ran 263mph the car made 2227rwhp on Mustang Dynor something close to that

That GT fills his tires with fairy dust for traction.

I'm thinking 205 at the next half mile is an attainable goal.

The mile would be fun!

I almost spit my drink all over my keyboard.

NICK YOSKIN

read that that ford is making ~1300 so you gotta another ~300 on it. piece of cake

NICK YOSKIN

his current setup is capable of 23psi which tell me that the isnt enough gas velocity, hanging even larger turbos will not help. Playing with tube diameter will. a nice tapered pipe would be the way i would go. my .02

That FORD GT has to be putting down some big power. He doesn't even come off the line hard but you can hear his gears are really tall!! I'd love to see an in car. I'm wondering if he changed out the rear gearing to make the gears very tall so he can eliminate a shift or two and stay on the turbo's longer. 278 is ridiculous! It was only a few years back when breaking 200 was pretty amazing!!!!

Yeah, like in 3rd/4th gear...LOL.... That thing is EASILY putting down 1600+ rwhp..... Probably more like 17-1800rwhp..

The UGR lambo that went 250 mph had 1550rwhp and that was with all wheel drive. To put 28 mph on top of that needs serious power...Not to mention less traction..

I do know that a 1550rwhp lambo recently went 217 mph in the half mile which matches the GT, but I doubt it has the back half gain that the GT had... I mean crap 60 mph on the back half? JESUS H #*%#^

timmyZ06

I remember when tommy Bahn went 227.8 mph with is supra, everybody lost their minds!!

201 mph in a half of mile, just meditated on that HALF MILE!!!!

I think it's over 2k whp. They have been running for years, So plenty of practice to see what works. I think the traction control was a big help this time.

Have a read of this thread, its very interesting!

NICK YOSKIN

yes it is!
basically big turbo outlaw cars are going to smaller diameter piping and then that allows them to run larger turbines. if mike adopted this thinking 23psi would not be the limit for sure! power delivery would probably be smoother which certainly be beneficial to traction.

newschool

So much stupid in this thread. If you think that GT makes 1300 your a moron. I don't know if this thread was created in sarcasm or...

White_Lightning

that FGT makes over 2k hp lol

venomws7

Maybe 1300rwhp only in 1st gear if that FordGT have 1300rwhp and running 278mph then everyone will be running 230-250mph in 1mile with 900-1000rwhp




I remember Mike and VR Crew saying his 7275 turbos are almost maxed out on 23-24psi 1590rwhp with his 440ci but if he's looking for 1700+rwhp he needs to swap for atleast 7675 turbos his engine is ready for it and his tube diameters is perfect for big power.

I hope Mike will reply to correct me if I'm wrong

SinisterC6

Stupid can be fun in moderation.

That may have been my first keyboard race, I hope I won.


I agree

Quick lesson on turbos:

Boost is a measure of resistance from the turbos supplying more air than the motor can utilize. I don't think causing more resistance and there for making the setup less efficient is the best route. I have confirmed the efficiency of my system by measuring AITs which stay at ambient or below on the road. This is with the four centrally located pipes that you claimed would be detrimental to performance. Phew glad you were wrong.

Smaller pipes increase exhaust velocity to increase turbo spool, which would result in decreased traction. AITs and boost would increase but power would stay nearly the same because the total airflow would remain unchanged.

23 psi is in fact the limit for my system and engine because the turbos are no longer able to provide increased airflow to make more power.

I'd really like to listen to you Nick but my intention is to go faster this upcoming season.

SinisterC6

You are 100% correct my friend, a larger turbo is needed for more power. Since the airflow increased but the motor and piping would stay unchanged boost pressure would increase as power rises.
