Agreed, I just wonder what that combo would do in a Corvette.

"Lean is mean", but 10 AFR on a turbo car with 1800 hp is not likely to last a mile.

I see you watched the dyno video, but didn't bother to read the rest of the thread. It was showing "10 AFR", after the run while it was idiling. The car made at least 4, standing mile passes the fastest being 234 and 239 mph on 20" Pirrelli P Zero's.

The crazy thing is that run was done at 15 lbs of boost, so power was at 1,300-1,400 rwhp from what I was told. I could definitely see 250+ happening for this car on it's next Tx Mile outing.

This is precisely why I said, "I believe", and Not that "This is the fastest F-body to run the mile.

My R6's barely get warm on a run to 223+ at the Mile.
