It picked up 14 mph in a 4100 pound car. That isn't a small gain by any means.
It left off boost and cut only a 1.7x 60'. I bet there is a more in it at that power level. As it was the first time out with it. It also probably has small turbos on it. As they said, same kit with bigger turbos made 1700 hp.
Ya, obviously it has a tune for the kit. With 8# of boost it runs well. Being boosted and having PBD tuning, you can turn up the wick as you wish.
That is a killer deal for a $40k car. 152 mph with just a fuel system upgrade and tune. Not that expensive at all.
Sleeper kit is killer but gets stupid expensive once you put some options on it.
Same thing with the 10 speed itself drives the car well over $39,995.
Thats what pisses me off with these. Thats NOT a 39,995 car and id be surprised if thats a base NO option hellion kit.
Ole bait and switch at its finest.
Especially getting sick of vendors claming all these 9 sec times but dont mention the boat load of supporting requirements also.
The S550 platform is getting out of control.

They said itās the same kit as what comes with the $39,995 car, but they did upgrade the fuel system for this car to run 16 lbs of boost.
They continue to say it's a 4100lb car, but it's not. It's a 4100lb car with the guy in it, so it's more like a 3900lb car. Does that matter? No, but I thought it was annoying.
[MENTION=917]1quick[/MENTION] do you know about or have that oil pump gear thing they're talking about? Or is that a different generation?

yeah I think its more overhyped than it should be, ive never done oil pump gears or a crank sprocket on either of my coyotes no issues, supposedly banging the limiter can take them out but i hit the limiter doing burnouts every time, it is probably a good idea but it cost quite a bit to have done and its something I wouldn't want to do myself
So much hating on this by petty shit. Yes, they said the car is a 401A optioned car with the auto. They are not hiding anything.
How much is a base auto versus a base manual trans? Probably $1,500 or so? Ok $42k car. Still impressive as anyone who has built one will tell you that cost and labor savings is big. It is a great deal be it a stick or an auto.
Also, they seemed to be pretty open about the car and that day. Some other shops show videos where they show an ET and no other info. Props to them for being transparent.
What is better claiming it is a 3900 pound car that ran those numbers and not knowing what the driver weighs or how much fuel was in the car?
OR
Knowing the exact weight of the car, including the driver and fuel, right after it made that pass?
When you class race a car you get weighted after the pass. They have minimum weights and verify that. Not just the weight of the car but weight of everything including the driver, fuel, and so on. Not an odd concept at all.

They said it weighed 4100 pounds with the driver. What's the issue? These cars don't drive on their own, they need a driver. The weight of everything is important to collect data and do calculations on.
