Haven't tracked the new setup yet, Marshall is building the headers/exhaust for it now, then it needs to get tuned. Chad just ran 12.1@113 n/a in 100* heat with his new setup. I think he's gonna be spraying it this week, should put down some good numbers if he can hook.
Guy that built my engine thinks it'll have no problems going low 11's on the motor (similar setups he's built for other guys have gone 9's n/a, but that's in a sub 3k lb race car), guess we'll find out. Plus, my 565hp on the engine dyno is low, it's actually around 610-620hp (the 901 dyno that was used had a known issue with the barometer, they have a new 902 now, but I'm not gonna pay to have it dyno'd again, we'll just see what it puts down on the chassis dyno when it gets tuned).

What I really want is a built up 996 Turbo. I've seen those outrun all sorts of cars.
I raced a stock 996 Turbo a few years ago, that thing was a beast off the line. He had about a half car on me when the tranny went boom on the 2-3 shift. It was a four way with a pullied E55 and a cammed/bolton LS1 Formula, it was an awesome race, until the Porsche broke.

Haha yeah, they're no joke. Especially the X50 996TTs - their 0-60 time is around 3.5 seconds. Then do some work to it and easily shave off some time to that.
I'm surprised the tranny went in that car - they're usually bulletproof - as is the bottom end in it as well. There is a lightened one with carbon fiber panels and such with 1000hp with drag slicks on all 4s running around in TX I believe. The owner also has a Gallardo and Carrera GT. He brings out the 996 when he wants to do damage. He made a 997 Turbo with 620awhp look extremely slow - he put about 20 car lengths on it in no time. It's really a 1000hp supra but with traction.
That would be my weapon of choice - greatest thing of all - it was all stock looking except for the black HREs.
