I dont think ur 400 hp nsx is coming close to a 11 let alone a 8… Calm down everyone I’m not hating in the car, mostly just slowgto. I never said building an 8 second street car was easy. In fact I said it was impressive. All I said, which you can say is hating, is that I would expect a 432 cubic inch engine at this power level to be reliable. I didn’t question the car or its build, I only questioned your standards for reliability which seem to be very low. I’ve driven plenty of fast cars at the track including a few 9 and 10 second street cars. Have you built any 8 second cars? How qualified are you to comment on how good this setup is? ---

When my cobra comes out u can tell me then… I had a 9.4 car in 1999… I know what it took to go 8s on a bike let alone a car… But my cobra will go 8s… I had a 440 ci z06 on spray and it was fully reliable so y wouldnt a 432 with turbos which are much easier on a motor not be reliable? Do u have anything that backs up unreliability? U do realize it started at a 427 and isnt really alot of work to go to 432 right? ---

Do u have anything that backs up unreliability? U do realize it started at a 427 and isnt really alot of work to go to 432 right? the 432 he has in his z06 isnt even in the same ball park as the ls7 they come with. You are comparing apples to oranges. The stock ls7 is a high compression, high revving motor with thin sleeves and light weight pistons and rods. They are ticking time bombs over 650rwhp. Last I knew he had a warhawk block? What block does your z06 have in it? and nitrous vs turbos if setup (tuned) and has the right safety precautions can be the same as far as reliability. ---

It can be reliable but it would be hard to argue overall that it’s the same. There are just more variables that you have to either check individually or don’t have a control of or fail-safe to prevent damage if something does happen. It definitely requires a lot more proactive precautions. OK for track days but sucks for street use IMO.
