Nice !!!!

 

is it a stock LS3 intake manifold???

 I thought there was a CPR brand intake or am I thinking wrong again ?

stock ls3 manifold. they support a ton of power and keep all the low/midrange. Some day I may go to a fancy shauns billet manifold but honestly it would probably gain me looks only.

Joe the car is sick!  I can't wait for the results in the 1/2 mile.  Poor GTRs won't know what hit them.

Sounds badass!

 

Can I ask why you went supercharger instead of turbo or even multiple kits of nitrous?

 

My guess, he didn't want to be that fast or he would have turbo'd it haha.  For half mile, nitrous is too many refills and inconsistent delivery.

 

Those wheels look nasty!

I could have made our own setup and all but honestly I just really love centri blowers, I love the sound, the power delivery, etc. I know a turbo setup would be a little faster potentially but I truly love driving a centri car. Done the nitrous thing and not what I want to worry about having a big power nitrous car, I want it all the time.

Damn nice... expected HP/TQ?

Not really saying, I have my hope's of a number but don't want to post what I think it'll do in case i'm wrong haha. but 24 PSI on an efficient setup with a lot of compression on kickass gas better make a ton or else I'll cry lol.

forgot to post my dyno video. Car will be going back on with a meth kit as I was close to maxing out the injectors and iat's were a little higher than I want, timing is still semi low so power will go up some from here. But still 1048 rwhp 915 rwtq. This thing with the compression makes a tad over 700 rwtq by 4k rpms!! Absolute blast to drive and really drives like a nice bolt on w/ a small cam car. With the meth kit thinking it'll land around 1130-1150 rwhp.

Are you going to run it in March at the 1/2 mile here in Gila ???

yes sir! we sponsor every one and will have again 35+ customers racing. I'll be making passes in mine throughout the day as time allows me to step away or when i'm not driving other people's cars showing them how to improve.

Got it back on the dyno with the meth kit installed to keep iats down and put the bellmouth on the supercharger. 

 

1165 rwhp and 1004 rwtq. Favorite thing is because of the high compression I make 850 rwtq by 4500 rpm's and by 5k make right at 1k rwtq and carry it out to 7200. Who says centris can't make tq haha. Also got the new ACP carbon hood on. This thing fits absolutely like oem and is a super high quality true fully carbon hood.
