Off To Detroit for C&D SuperCar Challenge

But since we have to run pump gas for the C&D test, it had to be retuned a bit. The results? One 91oct, it put down 370whp with the One Lap XFlash. On 93, and with the XEDE installed, it put down 406whp. With the XEDE, boost was raised from 23psi to 25psi. And a little advance was yanked out above 6000rpm. That's about it, I'm happy to say. Interestingly enough, this is virtually the same power output we ran in One Lap (using race gas). The difference? Our new GT35 vs. our old GT3037
The GT35 is ~300RPM laggier and I'm a bit worried about the boost response time during the 4th to 5th shift (which was already an issue with the GT3037-- esp at higher altitudes). But it does make good power, more easily, with less octane requirement so we're sticking with it!
More later...

What exactly does you car have on it in addition to you GT35 kit(what exactly does the kit come with)? Please itemize if possible. I am trying to obtain a cost estimate to determine the damage to go from a stg 1 platform to this level.
Please respond.
Thank you
P.S. Are you running an upgraded manifold or does you kit utilize the stock unit?

I have some good news and some even better news:
1) Shivs car will not come in last overall
2) Shivs car will cost less than the cheapest "super car" there, including some of the ones he beats.
Its win win for Team Vishnu!!
Good luck man...

The stage 2 is still under construction and is for custom setup's only at this point. He's close to completion however (if i'm reading his posts correctly). Also, I believe the stage 2 kit will not come with an upgraded manifold. (someone correct me if im wrong)

I think ANd hope because I have been buy parts the last few days to match Shiv's onelap motor.
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP Head Studs
HKS CAMS 272 all around
Vishnu Cam gears
IC upgrade
BOV upgrade
Samco hoses for IC
Rad upgrade
Cusco front and rear diffs
Xede/Xmap
And STG II with A really big turbo.
And I think everything else is stock. (At least the motor)

Hi guys,
To answer some of your questions:
The street drivability portion of the test will be held on the streets of Detroit and around Michigan International Speedway (MIS) on Sunday. The timed track tested on a course layed out at MISon Monday. I'm quite sure the event is closed to the public since we had to notify C&D how many people we are bringing with us
The hp numbers I mentioned are all DD numbers. With c16 (or better), the GT35R shouldn't have any problem supporting over 500whp with the current mods on the car. It was quite funny tuning the car with the GT35 as it kept on wanting to make more power than I wanted for the event. That's a first!
As Eric said, the engine block is internally stock with the exception of rod bolts and headstud. The head, however, has been worked over with larger valves, porting, springs, retainers, cams and gears. We are running an upgraded intake manifold as well. The turbo kit itself consists of a 321 Stainless tubular intake, GT35R, Tial wastegate, our look-like-stock upgraded FMIC, and misc hoses, lines, etc,. Still breathing from the stock airbox though. Other mods consists of custom top hats, Ohlins coilovers, front and rear sway bars, 18x10" wheels, 265-35-18 tires, custom spacers, Stoptech front brakes, front and rear Cucso differentials, Exedy twin plate clutch, our aero package (MR vortex generator, Home Depot Gurny flap, etc,.)
Take care,
shiv
