I forgot about the car Tim Barth was working on last year:

American racing headers
2.65 upper
Innovators west lower
K&n cold air
Fore fuel system
ID1300 injectors
E85
Meth injection
Nitrous kit (200shot)

Maxed out the dyno at 1200rwhp/1118tq. Took it to the track and his best ET was 9.51 but had several traction issues and he couldn't spray until he has 5 seconds into the run. Said it has the power to run 8's easily and Barth learned a lot about the transmission and what he could tweak.

Took it to a 2000hp dyno and it made a little over 1300rwhp and the engine popped. The new build(426 4.5 Whipple No Nitrous) is almost done

so 1000rwhp with pulleys, intake, tune and e85?? wtfff

No. Mid-high 800s on corn.
Nitrous takes it to 1000rwhp and beyond. Same as our car, except ours isn't blown up. Been running low - mid 9s for a year + now
Whats it gonna take to run 8s? Mini tubbing? 315 the max?

I imagine the M6 will be the first to do it

I've got a bunch of low 9 sec (9.2-9.4) time slips sitting next to me on the desk.

And Auto is always faster than manual. No one can shift as fast as a computer.

But as I said, i'd be more interested in time slips vs a dyno number.

Lets word it this way :

I explain it like this to customers - a dyno is merely a tuning tool. You can manipulate a dyno to spit out whatever number you want (many places do this). What TRULY matters is what the car traps in the 1/4 or in the half. Period.

Hope you don't mind, but I posted this quote in a thread on another car forum. Some folks just don't get it.

Looks like 757 and 815 pump gas/race gas power. Honestly I think that's low for how much they have hyped it. I was thinking it should be 100 more than that with what guys were doing with tuning and pulley.

Where did you see this confirmation on the power? The new update I saw for the day was just about the line lock and trans brake...

Yeah, if it has anything to do with those numbers, it'd make more sense if it were 815hp and 757 lb/ft on pump...a 50hp jump would be very underwhelming for a hype of this magnitude.

Technically speaking the stock Hellcat is underrated & puts down ~650rwhp. If you assume a 15% parasitic loss getting the power to the wheels..it's more along the lines of 765hp..

They can bump the stock hellcat numbers up 50hp without doing crap. With the new air intake & other tweaks, it's most likely a lil over 800hp on pump gas. I think the limit on pump gas for a hellcat is around 780rwhp before it calls for race gas, so 815hp to the crank definitely doesn't need any race gas. Rather than increasing hp much, they concentrated on weight reduction & launch...which are the current hellcats two main issues. It'll easily be a high 9 second car.

I wish they'd do flex fuel though.
