We've had the pleasure to work on many of Doug's fun project cars over the years, but this one is definitely the pinnacle of his collection. His car made it back down to us from his home in Illinois after only being back in his hands for a few months. His previous 630 whp setup just wasn't enough to satisfy his need for power. He wanted a true street monster that would wax just about anything in its path while still being a civilized daily driver. The heart of the build consisted of an AMS Alpha 10 setup paired with our FP1-R 3.8L in-house assembled power plant capped with a pair of our FP Spec big valve cylinder heads. With these power goals in mind, several areas need to be upgraded including the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, wheels and tires...the works. Many of you recognize our tradition of building balanced track worthy cars that can still be driven daily. When tasked with building a very fast street car, our balanced philosophy is no different. We added a properly sprung set of JRZ RS Pro Silent Edition Coilovers, our Forged Performance Extreme Performance Sway Bar Set with Racing End Links, Endless MX72 brake pads, and a custom spec'd set of 20X10 20X12 HRE wheels wrapped in a square set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires 315/35/20. We even installed a discrete Passport 9500ci radar detector and laser jammer to offer some modicum of protection from the law. The acceleration is neck snapping while the handling remains razor sharp. Our transmission shifts superbly on the upshift and downshift, responding instantaneously to the paddles. There is a lot to be said for a car that not only makes tremendous power, but can also effectively lay it down to the ground and that's what we've accomplished here. While we were planning this project, we knew this car was going to be a beast, but we weren't quite prepared for the end result, especially since we consider this a fast spooling balanced daily driven setup. After Sharif worked his magic in front of his Thinkpad, we made an incredible 838 whp @ 24psi on 93 octane on our low reading Dyno Dynamics! Like most shops that use unlinked dyno rollers, we ran the car in 2wd mode in order to preseve the front drive clutches. We were not 100% sure, so we had to confirm with AMS that this was in fact the highest WHP Alpha 10 on 93 octane to date. This car also made 957 whp @ 30psi at 8000rpm on C16 before our dyno gave out. Until we update our dyno software and run larger gauge power cables to the dyno, It appears we are going to have to go to another local dyno to complete the race gas tune on this monster. Stay tuned for updated race gas numbers in the near future! With 5psi left to go, it's no doubt this beast has more room to run. ***CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO: FORGED PERFORMANCE BUILT AND TUNED 957 WHP GT-R*** Performance Modifications: Forged Performance FP1-R Shortblock FP Spec ARIAS Extreme Duty Zero Silicon Pistons Manley Turbo Tuff I-Beam Rods Forged Performance Stage 5 Ported and Polished Heads and Bronze Valve Guides Tomei 272/272 ProCams VR38 Camshafts Ferrea VR38 Full Valvetrain Kit w/ 1mm Oversized Valves ARP L19 Head and Main Studs HKS Head Gasket AMS Alpha 10 Turbo Kit AMS GT-R FMIC Kit AMS GT-R Alpha IC Piping kit Injector Dynamic 2000cc injectors T1 Race Development Fuel Rails FP Spec Fuel System with -8 Line Upgrade CBRD Radiator GTC 102mm Titan Exhaust & Y Pipe PPG 1st Gear FP Spec Stage 4 Dodson GR6 Upgrade Package (Promax Clutch, PPG 1st gear) Transmission Assembly and Overhaul Performed In House at Forged Cobb AccessPort w/ TCM Other Upgrades: JRZ RS Pro Silent Edition Coilovers Password JDM 38mm Wide Front Fenders HRE P40 20x10.5/20x12 Flat Black Michelin Pilot Super Sport 315/35/20 Escort 9500CI Laser Shifter & Radar Detector Kit Forged Performance Extreme Performance Sway Bar Set Forged Performance Racing Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit OS Giken Rear TCD Differential Pictures of the work: 93 Octane: C16 Racegas:
Far from a budget build but the performance of this car is just insane, it will DESTROY a Veyron for a fraction of the total cost. Thank you, we are proud of this one.
So when will the fuel issues be fixed on this car and the extra psi utilized? Looks like TS hit their 1000+hp @ 34psi boost.
Dynojet vs Dyno Dynamics blah blah blah. Base that shit on gains over stock and there is no argument.
As dumb as the old saying goes, "The drag strip doesn't lie" It doesn't really matter to me, we have already backed our dyno numbers up with a fast time. I would expect from all this low reading dyno stuff their car should go faster then our 9.4@156mph. However forged will be at the graces of what the cars owner wants to do. I have been there before. Maybe he isn't a drag racer, maybe he just built the car to own something that makes a number. Who knows... who cares.. In the end they are two GTR's that are fast as hell and surely faster then anything anybody here drives. So I think we should just leave it at that. Yes this is Doug posting.. I haven't been hacked
Um I wasn't trying to start a debate. If you read up in the first post....they ran out of pump and are still lacking the 4-5 psi they were hoping to reach. Therefore I was asking when and if they are gonna pursue that goal. Thanks.
too much pride, cant say anything without making it seem like a debate. But like Doug said. Both are freaks of nature, fast cars. Well built, and faster then anything on here. :argue:
I wasn't talking to you dude. It was directed at Doug and just stressing the point that I was NOT in any shape or form trying to start another stupid shop war.
As mentioned in our opening post, the dyno gave out, not the pumps or fuel system. Fueling is not an issue with C16 on this setup.
