The Red415 is like the Tasmanian devil from the old cartoons. I'm still getting to know it and hoping a few minor issues resolve, but overall it is an around town monster.
Here's a quick rundown of a few fun cars. I don't live where I can take them out and have a spirited run without driving an hour. I'll try to get a baseline of each in the coming months. No current state dyno but some reference numbers. Yellow415: 415 cid, LPE stg 2 cams, 4.10s, wilwood brakes, coilovers Red415: 415 cid, stock cams, 4.10s, brembo brakes, coilovers LPE385: 385 cid, unk LPE intake cam, 4.10s, LPE Alcon brakes, stock suspension SGC350: 350 cid, SGE stg 1 cams, 4.30s, Baer brakes, coilovers Yellow415 was a monster. 12:1 compression & max porting. Unfortunately, it needed attention. After the attention, 11:1 (or 11.5:1...need to look) compression (not necessarily by choice) and what's feels like a bunch of timing removed. Before the car exhibited an unusually strong low end for a cammed car...after it feels neutered. It was twitchy before but progressive now. The attention also yielded big valves, which it didn't have before. It still pulls like a rocket ship up top. I felt this car would leave my 2015 Z06 before, but now would have to catch up. Driveability is poor aside from WOT. Dyno'd 555 rwhp before attention (after first build). Red415 went in for a smoking problem. New pistons and a slight overbore later, back to me. The others have B&B, this one has Corsas. It's quiet inside with no drone but sounds like $&@! outside. My goodness...this car is crazy. It has fairly new Nitto 555s that are worthless until 4th gear. I've never been in a car like this. It's absolutely insane. I'll swap some 18" drag radials on FM5s in the next few days. This car has a bottom end like a big torque OHV engine. It pulls well up top too but not like the yellow car. If it could hook, it would likely get the jump on them all. Driveability is okay but bogs at low RPM coast down. No dyno but claimed 600 hp (crank) package when done. LPE385 is a steady, early-build stroker. It went in to LPE in 1995 right off of the truck. It's not the fastest car but it is smooth--well tuned! Drives stock-like with more umph. Stock suspension transfers weight more than the others. This is a great car, hands down. LPE delivered dyno was 569 hp. I think I remember a 490 rwhp at an SGC gathering but imagine it was standard. Not the fastest but worthy of respect. SGC350 is a wild card. The 4.30 gears are something else. Car was built for low end and timed accordingly. It drops off at 6,300 rpms substantially but runs crazy to there. I dyno'd it once on a spring day and it put down 466 rwhp actual (no correction)...434 rwhp SAE. It is an extremely fun car to drive. I'd imagine if it could hook that it would give them all a run for their money off of the line. Ted Last edited by Demps; 06-01-2023 at 05:47 PM. |

Interesting non scientific iPhone app sound recording at idle
B&B (110 db) Corsa (94 db) It all goes to hell with Corsa off idle. |

Wow again!
What a collection! PS: I just noticed your Las Vegas ZR-1 Gathering poster, 2015. I can't believe it's been almost 8 years! I remember it being HOT out, but the drive in Utah was COOL!
