I just got back home from a weekend in Carlisle PA. It was NicoFest and the import car show along with autocross and drifting. We had en eventful trip down with a breakdown, nothing major, just a tensioner pulley, but it was a pain.
A friend just got his GTO ready for the season and then promptly lost his mind and let me drive it. It made mid 500hp last year with the smaller supercharger, so he was thinkin it was a bit over 600 with some tuning and a new blower. it got 647whp on the mobile dyno
We did have to wait awhile for the dyno, and just as we thought we were up, a blown SRT-8 Charger cut ahead of us. He got up and beat the weekend record by 130hp, he was pretty happy with himself, until our car went up and beat him by 10hp and then put another 130hp on top of that. It was absolutely hilarious!!
Pics of the show and the GTO, and Im sure I dont have to tell you guys, but that thing was a BLAST to drive. The heads had been "touched" as my buddy would tell people, cam, meth injection, headers some stuff I dont recall and alot of fine tuning. It was pretty docile and decently mannered if I stayed out of the loud pedal, but give it some gas and boy did she go!! If I were on a 600, Id be worried about it. Id also like to apologize to the folks at the hotel that i woke up last night, the parking lot seemed to be missing a nice set of 11's, so we gave it a set
I also spyed a C7 Vette in a hauler as we were leaving, cant be many of those around yet.
Pics cause it all happened.
