kumar75150 will become famous soon enough
the whippled cars usually make 720-750rwhp on pump gas and a 19psi pulley.

if they could make 800 on 93 ocatane, i wouldnt be dreaming about a tt kit every night

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that running more than 19psi on the Whipple is a mistake. All the FGTs I know of that're running a 21 or 23 psi pullies (even with meth injection) have heat soak issues and IMHO aren't performing nearly as well as their dyno sheets suggest they should.

I'd like to see what kind of number a 19psi car would run in an event like this.

Oh, you are correct. The GT in the video has a 3.3 L Whipple. I misunderstood your post. I thought you were referring to the stock blower.

Best Regards,
Waldo

Hmm I've never considered the modability of these beasts but I guess you are right. I know a few of the Lightning guys have gone over to the GT 5.4 motor...

For ~$150k, I'd be hard-pressed to buy any other exotic. The presence and rarity that car has is something to be desired, not to mention its great performance stats, mod-ability, and heritage.
