TwinTurbo grandprixGT deep8's FWD build

Ok, I changed my mind and made one more pull on Sunday. This time I added boost in stages and it ran out smoother. I think the turbos were getting close to the surge line when boost would come in as quick as possible. These things hit hard! Anyhow, boost was set at 20, but hit 22, then dropped to 20, then I bumped it to 22, then 24. I wanted to go higher, but the dyno was only set to log to 140 mph and the pull was done too quick. The chart showed a 30whp gain on the bump from 22 to 24, so power is still increasing nicely at that level. It is also more than 120whp higher then how we ran it last week trapping 146 mph.

700whp+ graph

Bob cook went 8.9 is a FWD 3800 turbo GTP a few days ago. Matt need to get some passes in this, even tho the 1st to the 8’s is taken. I wonder how close it is to my weight :slight_smile:

car went 8.97 today riding out a full pass, from tire shake.

WOW

this car is gona be on the new pink all out tonight on speed.

Let it go John… you’re an f-body guy now.

howd it do?

The fab work seems great, but I still question why someone would put time and money into it. Its hard enough to fit everything under the hood, now they have to accommodate the wider drive wheels too?

Guess some people like a challenge…

because some people just like hot rodding cars in general, regardless of the make, model or popularity.
