    Calvo Motorspots TT gen V 9.62 @150 Stock bottom end record

    We are at the quick 30 rental right now and dialing the car in. This car is still stock bottom end with our TT kit,clutch,fuel system and motec. First pass off the trailer on 5lbs of boost car went 10.76@145, few more passes and leaving a little better we did 10.0 & 147. And the record pass a 9.62@ 150!!!! This car has been boosted for a yr and a half now and Since it is the shop car and R&D car we put it threw hell and it seems to like it lol!!

    Great stuff! Congrats. The GEN5 platform continues to impress and there is nothing better than asphalt dyno numbers!

    The first pass was on 5 lbs which is gate. The others we kept turning it up to where we had it at the half mile.

    Very cool! Curious to what the stock bottom end can safely hold on the gen 5?

    This car is making around 1175-1200 rwhp. I wouldn't get greedy. Finding the limits can cost you a whole lot more, than most V8 engines.

    Congrats on the records, Antonio! You built a stout setup, very reliable too.

    Awesome to finally see the gen V moving! 9s @ 150 is getting it.. However id expect faster traps if its making 1200 to the wheels!

    Look at all the long sleeve shirts/jackets in the photo. It's hard to hook 1200hp/1200tq on a cool track in a light car.

    This was my first time drag racing in 8 years!!! I'm a little rusty!!! hopefully I can find time to run the car more often. Would like to see a 1.4-1.5 on 18" drag radial.

    With motec, they gave me a new firmware revision the other day and somehow it took out wheel speed so I didn't have anti lag, 2 step or traction control. This was old school pedaling!!!

    The car has never dyno'd more than 997whp..... Not sure why or what but it just won't dyno more. If I turn it up it it stays the same or less. Motec is estimating 1160ish. All I know is it has 3100 miles of nothing but c16 full kill racing on it

    Have you owned a 1200 rwhp Viper? Mine trapped 152 at 1200 rwhp. His numbers are right in line with that.

    It was around 65-67 degrees at the time we both ran our better runs. Was talking to Antonio and I think we were both in the same boat of not having been out in a while and getting some of the rust knocked off in the morning before we found a little more consistency.

    Congrats on the 9.6 run! Do we know exactly the power you're putting down when hitting 9.6 @ 150mph run?
