In the UK there was a guy who had a RT10 and wanted over 1000 bhp, and gave his Viper to an engineering firm to develop. They've done loads to it , twin turbo etc. They were having trouble with the gear box and hubs coping with the power. It cost I'm told £200k to develop, I have all the spec on it some where if anyones interested.!

Hey Big Jim,


Doug Levin is blowing the 1100 hp number away that you read.

It was posted on the VCA board a few months ago. Doug posted over 1,500 HP before the dyna maxed out. I think that was RWHP..

If I'm not mistaking Jeff Ellison's King Snake is pushing upwards of 1050 H.P. w/NOS.
You must be registered for see images
I think it's around 777 H.P. without the NOS.

I believe I'm putting down >700+ at the tires (I'll get the dyno sheets and post them). This is without N2O (obviously after the episode / explosion). I'm planning on replacing my old 100 shot (that exploded) with a new two stag 300 shot for drag racing.
