First off, I used to be known as "TheLaw' but I could not log in under that name one day and spent three months trying to get BangShift to help me,sigh. Now I'm turbolaw IE: Tom, with the POS '77 blue turbo Nova.
Yep made 579 rwhp @5700 and 540 ft lbs @ 5400 on 93 octane pump gas. I'm pretty happy with these numbers considering it is a mild 355 sbc, with a single turbo, and at a low streetable/liveable rpm.
I made to base line pulls of 533 and 540. I started to add fuel to it and it went to 546, 554, 576 with the final pull of 579.
Added timing but aborted the pull after it sounded like the pistons were changing holes.
Went back to 20 degrees total and it matched the peak hp of the day.
Now I have to wait for the winter to make a couple of passes at the track with the added hp. I went 10:18@131 at Toepka. I'm going try and drop 150 lbs off of the car and let it fly.
See ya guys at Drag Week 2012.
