Our quest to build a low 9 sec. s197

[GT RO]

Well all I can say is WOW !!! Justin and his crew are second to none . They met and exceeded every goal we set and more . The car is pretty much finished for this year . After a few issues , like there always is , the car in our eyes turned out perfect . We were unable to get any dyno numbers as the dyno was having issues.But as Don would say who cares ? In testing the car went 9.89 @ 140 mph with only 17 psi ( on the foot brake ) .We were very impressed with this as we were only running 11 degrees of timing . At a rough guess we still left 300hp on the table . We will slowly bring the boost up to 20 psi over the course of this year , although we tuned and saw over 27 psi. the car will not see these boost levels until next year , when we instal the air to water intercooler . I would personally like to congradulate JPC on building us our dream , Thanx again "JB'' your buddy .

If you go to JPC racings website you will see a picture of our motor on a engine stand , for a better pic go into jpc store and check it out that is ours that they used to advertise the RGR 322 . besides the shorty headers we think it looks awsome !!!

As I'm getting ready to fire mine up next week - was there any issues or anything out of the ordinary with the intake I should know about?

Thanks,

Lot of work in that crankshaft.

It is a one off RGR spec crower . It definetley is 1 of a kind . We waited over 10 months for it last year . that is why we were only able to make 1 test and tune session last year
