Unfortunately, we had to postpone the trip to Texas. We simply ran out of time to test before the race, and that is a long haul to ride untested. So we're planning to attend the Ohio Mile, which has 4 events this year. We'll be tested and ready.

We made our first pulls on the engine dyno! We made 1,870 horsepower on low timing and 27psi. We're turning up the boost and timing tomorrow. We'll run out of injector around 2,400 horsepower. Special thanks to Young's Performance, Lane Culver, Butler Performance, Ryan Carpenter, Buddy Anderson, and Noah Mitros for making this happen so quickly.



3-20-2012
We are headed for the Texas Mile on March 23-25! We are thrashing to complete the project now (3/20/12). We ran 224 mph on low boost with our previous build. We're looking to beat our own record and eventually compete for the world record for the fastest piston powered car. This new car is a combination of C5 and C6 parts resulting in extreme performance. We have built on the information gained from our previous car, and this ride is looking to push the boundaries for standing mile racing.

Old sticker from previous life as a single turbo 76mm. Kinda funny in today's form..

Holy crap thats sick!!!:thumbs:

Just added the engine dyno video.

Looking good guys :thumbs:

Glad to see this.

some times people don't understand what needs to be done to break records ..congrats to all hands on your build :thumbs: i admire anyone with passion for a cause ..im sure your happy about this build as well good looking parts list

ttt
 

Dam guys you are going for it this time for sure. Just a work of art for sure....Good luck on the new record....Man that thing is for sure one hell of a turbo on a car...Robert :thumbs:

Looking more forward to the Mile now, i thought I couldn't get any more psyched!!!!

Wowzers!!!!!

Why not use a coupe for better aero?

Be carefull not to step in front of that sick turbo when it's spinning high rpm's. Freacking suck you in like a jet engine dammmmmmmmmm. Need one of those for my car and toss my f-1.:yesnod::yesnod:

Wow that is a sick setup and looking forward to seeing this baby at Beeville:rock:

WTF!!!That TURBO is Half the Size of that Engine...Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! Good luck with your goals.

Damn that is a huge turbo! That is one awedome build. The armagedon package lol. Can't wait to see the numbers. More excited its in a c5 z platform :)

Nice to see people are still giving the C5 some love. :yesnod:

Can't wait to see what it does once it's turned up.

True Forged wheels look nice! I think I'll get me a set! :rock:

Good luck on your goal, awsome build :thumbs:

I thought the same thing.... Stock for stock, the coupe has a higher top end with 50 less hp....

Maybe just fab'in up a piece to attach the top roof to the rear deck (essentially creating a coupe type airstream)...

Crazy HP numbers mang! Great looking car and the Fab work is out of this world. Looks so clean and well put together. Great job guys.

After all that work/money/time, why bother with an unmodified GM manifold? Seems like a custom piece (equal runner length with a plenum) would be a drop in the bucket compared to the price of the build so far, especially since you have already given up on the stock hood.

Not trying to hate, just wondering out loud. I love this build and I am looking forward to seeing the mile times!
