Twin engine GTP project progress thread

[TwinV6GTP]

Damn, all it needs now is some rocket boosters and a flux capacitor.

It's on order lol..

no seriously we are just scratching the surface.
imagine if we build both engines to race specs... 850whp each with boatloads of torque.

Now we are making around 1200HP or 950whp and weigh 4400lbs. I think next year we will lighten up by 150 lbs at least and go all out on both engines.
so 1700whp AWD and 4200lbs or so ! That's next year's goal. For this year, I'm not sure, I'm pretty motivated to do more I'm just out of time... too busy at the shop.

I said things like that $3000 ago, and I still havent went faster.

Sometimes simple recipes are the best.. But I can definately feel a lack of top end.
High rpm Torque converter will allow much bigger turbo to be used especially in the rear engine. Just that is worth some ET and MPH.
Simple drivetrain mods to move my powerband up 1000 rpm would really help too.

Right now my 4t80E has such a short ratio with 26" high ET street I shift to 4th gear before the 1/8 mile !
