    Postby poshboy » Tue Apr 19, 2011 3:33 pm

    Been in the planning for ages but the car comes apart today. Having a TVS 2300 Supercharger, ram clutch rated to 800ft/b torque, ls9 cam, forged Mahle pistons and full engine balance, target is 700 FWHP.

    New cam from an LS9 Supercharger Corvette :)

    How it looks now, hopefully it'll be all back together in about 2-3 weeks :) will keep this updated as my parts arrive,

    Don't knock on Death's door, Ring the bell and runaway,
    Death really hates that.

    Can I suggest you bring some spare tyres with you, if you're going to drift that again I give it 5 mins before you need new rubber!
    700bhp at the flywheel is a nice round amount :)
