1000HP s550 budget build

[bnightstar]

I'm just at 900whp in my Whipple Gen 3, 17 MT82 car. So far it's been at that power level all last summer. 2 years before that I was 740whp. Car sees lots of roll races and did about 15 track passes last year at the 850-900whp level. Don't know how long it will last but so far it has zero issues. 35,000 miles on the car now.

That's great do you happen to have 0-60 or 60-125 times :? I'm interested to see what the real performance benefit is ?

My best 60-130 time was a 5.7 and car traps 142mph in the 1/4. Also where I live the DA was 36-3900. I was having shifting issues last year which I'm pretty sure was clutch related and was causing huge delay in my shifting but this year I'm hoping its all fixed so those numbers should get better.

That is mighty impressive. Hope you fix your shifting issues.

It's ok I guess but then you see the Gen 3 A10 cars with my same setup running around 5.0 - 5.2 60-130...lol. Damn auto cars..ha

Is this just a theoretical question from you? Do you have any intentions of doing it? Test the amount of time you can run 1000+ whp on a stock engine?

It's not even from me the tread was started by someone else.
I was watching this few years ago:

and this

And at 900+ HP the A10 had some serious issues holding the power. Which was why I asked how someone imagine to do a reliable budget 1000 WHP build (chose 2 out of 3). So adding the reliable part is going to ether remove budget or 1000 WHP based on what I have seen going on so far with Coyote builds in the series mentioned previously.

I don't plan to do it for my car as I'm a road racer and much more interested in Max WHP N/A build.

Ah...you brought this thread back...maybe we should let it go.

It wasn't me it was @Sean709 who brought it back. I was just subscribed to the thread to see OP progress but obviously as any 1000 WHP project this was a Pipe Dream ;)
