    If anyone ever wants to read (or link to) the condensed version of the build.... I've consolidated all the actual build posts on a new blog at GPRoadster.com.

    I'm going to add a little more stuff to the old BlimeyCabrio.com blog, to finish out the story of that first car.

    The dyno for TVS kit development car, on E85. Not yet fully tuned. But this is in the ballpark of what I'll have when The Phoenix is "done"

    For anyone who can't read a dyno chart, that's 368whp, 290 ftlb torque. With a rib cage-crushing torque curve.

    Look at the boost....Imagine what 18-19 boost is going to look like. It needs more air, larger throttle body and fuel pump according to Jan. On E85, it's going to be pushing 400 WHP potentially. That and the torque are numbers I never dreamed of..

    It's been a LONG wait, but the end result is mind blowing. To be able to get that kind of power and torque out of a supercharger with that linear power delivery, what our car's are now capable of on the track, it's just crazy.

    Here's that boost graph Chris mentioned. The car is running a ridiculously low amount of boost while getting those numbers. And the boost declines at the upper half of the RPM range due to intake/throttle body restriction that will be resolved. There is significantly more possible out of this system. Perhaps 400whp with the right tweaks.

    400 hp and pieces of crank and rods come out the side of the block.

    LOL

    With a stock bottom end, it would happen closer to 300HP

    But not with the RMW Stroker. It's built to support 500HP+
    As are the axles.

    My OSG clutch will be borderline. It should hold over 350, but I may need to upgrade to the dual disk version.

    That's the E85 chart.

    You may be right, but I was told otherwise.

    Check on RMW's board, plus I have the pm's from Jan. The 368whp is E85, awesome all the same. Looking forward to my stroker and TVS going in, in the next couple of weeks.

    Yeah it's E85. The torque is a dead giveaway. But with pump gas and the stroker when it's all said and done you're going to be able to get above 350WHP, significantly above 350, which is fantastic for the TVS, and it'll be safe.

    I stand corrected. I'll stop listening to the source who told me that. :rolleyes:

    330 at the wheels is what I am looking for on 93 octane, hoping for 340-350 with the meth.

    Well I think that's a very safe ask at this point.

    That's one of the funniest things I ever read.

    Mine was "a couple of weeks" away, 4 months ago.
    :Thumbsup:

    Also... from my experience, I highly recommend you run the stroker for a bit before the TVS goes on... because you need to learn a very different degree of throttle control with the stroker. And the TVS will kill you and your car if you haven't learned to respect the car in a totally different way than you do now...

    My bad, looked back at our messages and saw I wrote pump gas-- it was E85. But my understanding is 368 is attainable on pump gas on the Stroker, but the torque will be a little lower.

    If you don't want hot off the press info I can keep it to myself....:devil:
