No Motec, this is a street car that can hit the track hopefully with some authority. I think that 7800 can be broken. I am not probably going to be the one to do it. between 6800 and 7800 there were various limiters built in and each one had to be overcome. 7800 is the wall though. Jon Lund has probably already done it. If he wants to take an interest in helping me, I would be more than happy.
BTW, Your motto "I want a car so violent that the mere thought of full throttle would cause a heart attack. That actually going wide open throttle in would result in nothing less than instant death!"
That is my car.
Your car is one that I would love to try, and to feel under my uranium enforced right foot. I honestly wonder where this motor would stop making power given an extreme rev limit approaching 9,000 rpm.
No, did not up the compression. Have to drive on crummy California 91. JMS did the engine work and I credit them to a large degree. Deck plating and line boring and balancing and polishing the crank does make a difference. The engine runs so smooth that you can put your morning cup of coffee filled to the brim on top of the manifold and I can wind out the engine and it won't spill. Add that to Boss manifold/ported heads/cams/headers/x-pipe/cold air/tune and numbers happens, even on 91 octane. My car was no great dyno performer measuring only some 350 hp stock. My numbers and yours are repeatable by others. I just saw a complete forged bottom end for 1999. So it is getting more affordable to do this. Once the rev limiter gets solved there will be people winding forged bottom ends out to 8400 and making 650 flywheel horsepower. Paul Brown is getting to 8400 I have been told.
I can ask him but I am not sure if he would tell me. Are you talking about the race car driver Paul Brown?
