Well.. hopefully a solid 8 second car.. it's an m7.. probably max out blower.. doing a 416 stroker.. just ordered a kick *** winberg crank.. the rods are in but not sure what make.. and pistons tbd.. going bigger cam and new edelbrock heads..maybe getting custom intake manifold.. I have fore system now.. m130 motec with 1050 injectors.... rps triple.. 15 inch conversion.. so it should b dialed in

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to sound like a negative nancy, I just don't know that 8's is realistic. If you hit them, you are officially my hero, and no, I'm not being sarcastic lol

Haha!.. I get it.. I been building my car for the last 2 years..the people building my car are legit drag guys.. they just started doing work for the general public like 10 years ago.. their dad built Bush series nascar motors.. they were excited to test my car at 900 wheel.. they said 9.51 should b no problem.. ibeen following the c7s too..their dyno doesn't make egos.. lol.. their c6z runs 9.80s at 630 rwhp. They were thinking a 9.0 pass maybe better.. they were going to prep track also to test..
My car will b a 416 stroker with sleeved block.. all new rotating assembly.. bigger cam..edelbrock heads.. and probably getting a custom intake manifold made by them..maybe lme.. I'll have f1a94.. port injection with 1050s.. will probably add 3rd fore pump.. m130 to run port injection.. they also worked directly with motec to communicate m130 with factory ecu.. nobody has this capability to do it like them.. rps triple.. 15 inch conversion.. the only thing left is to go bigger with blower... but people say the 94 is good..
This spring I will post some vids of hopefully the first sub 9 pass..

Saying a motor is "rated" for "X" pounds of boost is a bit nonsensical, as I imagine many people felt. It makes sense to say that "with everything else held constant" like cam timing and compression ratio and so on. Because it is cylinder fill (which drives dynamic compression), static compression, and timing that determines cylinder pressure.
Put more simply, boost is only ONE factor affecting peak cylinder pressure.
Now it makes sense to me if he meant "all else the same". And I get it if all else is similar. But if you changed cam and heads, I doubt ANY engine guy (and I know a talented one or two) could really predict boost tolerance for a block without knowing how much air went in, timing curve, etc.

I am not a master engine guy.. my knowledge is limited.. this is just something they mentioned to me from the guy doing the block work.. I agree there are so many more factors.. as I get updates I can let the forums know..

I'd love to see this car hit solid 8's being that its an M7. Currently the fastest M7 C7 in the world that is publicly known was 9.51 and it had a lot done to it. M7 just isn't able to get the times that the A8 can. I run 9.92 in my M7 and am actively building my car to break the 9.51 record. I highly doubt you'll get to solid 8's without 1500+ HP in an M7. Throw an A8 in there, and you'll be running low 8's all day..

Got mine running over the weekend. Did my idle and part throttle then my HPT died. Was raising my torque/hp limits a little at a time beforehand. Was up to almost 640 @4000 rpm (pre PE or WOT) and my throttle is still closing on me....time to start thinking about clutch, shaft and axles.
