813Maro · 02-09-2014, 12:13 PM

Hi all I'm new to the forums here I'm in Tampa fl,ok now to the point what's the max ho I can make without tearing the motor down also I really like the idea of efr turbos since they have an internal bov I love the sound of them spoiling and the sound when your coming out of boost. Also please don't flame me for this one and iv read just about every thread on the subject but all of em end in flaming and no real answers I recently came across a page on google about a 32city mpg/40mpg highway vette running of sts turbo set up but I know there has to be more to it also they say it has 775hp I just searched 40mpg vette and it comes up 6th link down. Thanks in advance guys!!!

No such thing as a 40mpg Vette. And you can make 650 to the tire safely.

Bo White · 02-09-2014, 01:24 PM

Yes, agree with both^^^^^
Anything over 650 or so at the wheels you will need meth for sure.

650rwhp is a good line to call it before adding methanol or race gas...

And as per how much power? We have had numerous guys at 750-800rwhp border in the last year... We just put down 882rwhp BOOST ONLY with a ECS SC1500 Kit in a LS3 stock bottom end manual car built by JRod, and then 919rwhp on the dope (35 shot). Video be up here today...

We are about hour south of Tampa, FL, very familiar with FI in the last 14 + years of being in the business. Give us a shout or stop on down...

Hi Maro and welcome to the forum.

These cars are great but your lower end is on borrowed time with to much boost. A lot depends on what you are using the vehicle for and how you drive it. The Power looks for weak links if you don't build the drivetrain properly.

Enjoy and reach out for me anytime,
Phil

Thanks for the input guys any thoughts on efr turbos for this venture? Also so is the article a fake? No possible mpg boost with the right tune ?

813Maro · 02-09-2014, 08:20 PM

I can vouch for this Camaro, I was there when Matt Dyno'd the BEAST ! You just have to know what your end goal is with your vehicle, then talk to an exprienced tuner to help you get to the goal line.

BooSSted · 02-09-2014, 08:30 PM

650 w/safe tune.
