Default Our C5 blower engine is almost done! pic

Hi Guys!

Our blower engine is almost done. This is going in our C5 race car. It is a 427 c.i. sb. We are hoping for no less than 1800 hp, and figure maybe as much as 2000.

We are in the process of updating the chassis to the 25.2 spec so that it will be legal to go FAST!

I can't wait!

Tha pic is not very good, but you'll get the idea.

Rick

Good Luck with the new set up. Can't wait to see it run.
How did you make out with the other c5. Give me a call if you still need it looked at. Carmen

Carmen, The GTR is at a local shop here. The guy is having some trouble with it, but I think he can get it figured out. Hopefully I will know this week. If he can't, I will be giving you a call. Thanks for asking!

s383s, We are updating the car and building this engine for the NSCA's Super Street class. We also plan on doing some outlaw 10.5 stuff.

PRND21, The 25.2 spec is good for 3000lb cars running over 175 mph. The record in S/S with the NSCA is 7.26 at 199 something. If we can get it done in time our goal is to be the first over 200 in NSCA S/S trim.

I will keep you guys posted on the progress. Hopefully we will have it done for the PRI show, but that will be pushing it.

Rick

Rick is that an LS block?

We are trying to get into the same neighborhood off a sleeved LS1 block with an F2 blower that keeps the hood stock. An amazing amount of goodies not yet disclosed but hope to have it running by the end of the year.

Look forward to hearing more progress and maybe seeing it run!! If you could ever swing a pro-8 at etown next year we really could put some fireworks together!

asmokegars, no it is not an LS block. It is a CN Blocks billet block. It would have been nice to use an LS based block, but we wanted to use something we knew, rather than something we are unfamiliar with. Plus I would need to fab parts for the LS block, and some would not be legal for the series we are running.

Hi John, I wish one of my cars were running. None of them are race, or even street, ready at this time. They are apart more than they are together! maybe someday I'll just let them be and drive them!
