My guess is that I will never run race fuel unless it is only in an effort to put the snack down on my good buddy @Laynlo...
Net/net, I figure my normal street setup will be running 11psi st about 750whp when all done. Assuming a 15% drivetrain loss, that means approx 880HP (for marketing purposes). I can see custom badging for the 880 SS.  |
Yes, with Sunoco 260 GT Plus 104 Octane fuel. 740whp on 93 octane. Ran great up to 13psi, after that with either 15psi or 17psi we ran into a lot of heat soak. Keep in mind that I live in the hot humid caribbean heat and this was a year ago when there were no larger intercooler bricks or larger throttlebody neck available...
I tried meth with water, with a lot of water, pure meth and the heat soak was still there. Car was awesome at the dyno, but there was a lot of heat soak at the track. My best performance was with 11psi.
Keep in mind that this is my personal experience, not turning down Magnuson or anything! Car has a Procharger now, but if those cooling upgrades were available last year, most likely the car would still have the Maggy as I loved the instant power and torque.
Living on a caribbean island doesn't help with heat!
