New #s, finally!

[02LaserRed2V]

Well my car is finally done. It made 636rwhp/637rwtq @ 20 PSI on a cool 100 degree day.

Amazingly, my engine setup is TOO efficient for the KB 2.6H so it actually falls flat (making only 20 PSI instead of 26) around 5.8K rpm! But compared to my previous setup (428rwhp/433rwtq)...well, there is NO comparison. The car is downright NASTY! First gear is spinfest. Second and third spins, but the car still pulls HARD! A KB 2.8H or some spray would be the ticket to 700rwhp, but I'm going to get used to and enjoy my current setup for now.

that's plain mouthwatering potential right there. Yeah spray some juice before the intercooler maybe? 2.8 would be crazy. Are you saying that w/ less cfm flowing heads you'd make more power? Or just more PSI (resistance).

Congrats brother, I can't wait to see that type of hp from my car.

 

[mustangkid05]

jeez, how much hp can that shortblock hold?

 

[925BayArea2v]

sick...sounds like your motor is asking for 2 big ass turbos

Nice #s. I assume that is the race tune? What size of crank & SC pullies are you running? I thought these 2.6H blowers would hit 700rwhp on race gas since the old 2.2 was capable of 600.

your car =

i love it, awesome man!

It's on race. I thought the blower could as well but didn't. The hp goes up like it'll top 700 easily but drops off right before 6K rpm, just like the little KB 1.7L had a habit of doing. My car was making 20 PSI with the 26 PSI pulley. With 18 PSI it made only 5hp less than w/20 lbs. It was simply too much engine for this blower.

Congrats, 2.8 FTW, what was your pump gas numbers with the KB 2.6

 

[DocG]

Always loved your car! Damn thing is clean and beastly.

Good job!

 

['02SilverBullet]

Awsome bro! you are where I want to eventually end up. What kind of mods you got on that 2V anyway? I would love to start building my engine to safely run that kind of power!

 

[PonyboyIsaac]

thats awsome man, nothing to be ashamed of. I did expect the 700rwhp mark to be breached but 636rwhp is nothing to laugh at. congrats!

 

[deftsound]

WOW! makes my 363 hp look like a honda lol

 

[Superhereaux]

makes my 249hp look like...

Very interesting. I wonder what KB has to say about this? I am not complaining about the power it makes but I didn't want to have to swap to another P/A to make 700 rwhp either.

Well it looks like my tranny is $@*&. It won't stay in 2nd gear.

won't even mention my 185

Isn't that a t56 you have in there? I thought they were good for more power than that? What are you going to go with now? I am planning on a tko600 since I really don't feel the need of a 6 speed.

ouch


if you need the extra cash for a new trans i'll take the Cobra seats off your hands

Major props on the car bro, high-hp track cars aren't nearly as hard to build as a 600+ HP street car
