1500 Horsepower Twin Turbo Corvette C8 FINAL CHECK OVER TJ Hunt

Alright, TJ, we're on street tires, so we'll do map one, we'll do a launch, see how bad it spins, I think the whole first year it's going to spin pretty bad, yeah, obviously it spins really bad at first, but I'll do it. we have done. I didn't set the boost per gear, so the first year I think it's like five pounds and then slowly add a little bit as we go, but on a drag radial you can change that setting and make it a lot more violent. That felt good. Alright, so, um, can we send it?

They're coming on Wednesday or Thursday to come pick it up, so we should probably drive it one more time on the street. I'm depressed, let's do it. I just have to take him to lunch. I mean, it is. funny brother, in the number one configuration, I think I have it at like eight pounds, it's a lot of fun, this thing with 800,900

horsepower

is a blast to drive, man, how many settings for them when it goes off, I'm going to give them four, but to be honest with these tires one and two will be the one is enough two could be on the edge three with these tires would be too much what happens is that when the tires slip a lot it is like slipping very badly the clutch and I will try to go and reduce the engine power if it skids or spins a lot, the tire is very bad.

I'm used to testing the car on drag radials, we had no problems, yes this is the first time I've tried this, I tried to turn. The boost was on Friday, yes, and it reduced the engine power on me, it's because the tire is spinning so much, yes, because the clutch gets scared, so the clutch doesn't know what to do if it spins so much it won't want to. It doesn't want to shift properly and gets scared, but on drag radials it has no problem. It never comes into this. It did not. I've had it on drag radials forever and never had any problems the last time I drove it.

The first time I tried it on these tires, the first time I had a problem because it's so much fun, but yeah, we'll drive it one more time, so for those of you who don't know that you have a race car. do the race, yeah son, you know it's collecting dust there, but it's ready, it's ready, I don't see a fair day at the track, so we went, how long has it been Dean? What else did I go a couple of months ago? More than that, it was March, oh. Recently he was the one who marched when the first strip broke.

There's something somewhere up there in Dallas, yeah, yeah, we fixed it and it's ready to go. Now there's a, I mean, obviously, there's a big race in September, but I need to look up and. Look, when they hit us, there's a guy on the east coast trying to solo grudge races for fifteen or twenty thousand dollars, but he's in a pro mod, it's my car, it's a hatchback car. Mine isn't a real pro mod so I can. you explain to them what the difference is between the back half of the car and a pro mod like a real pro mod or what would be the reason why my car left a car lot like you could actually buy it from a dealership. and then we cut it off, but it still has the factory rear quarter panels, the roof is not factory, but it's usually factory, like we have a carbon fiber roof, but the rear quarter panels, the whole car is still there, the front frame rails are still there, it's still there.

Technically a car from a dealership, a pro mod is literally built on a jig, so you start with a little jig and they start building tubes to make the frame rails, they make double rails and all that kind of stuff, yeah, mine. It started out as a real car and it still is, they called it a rear half car because the front frame rails and the rear quarter panels, everything is still factory the way they came from the dealership. I mean, it looks good to know what the front frame rails are. It's not much but just like the rules you have to have at least the class I used to race so that's all factory and then this is considered the frame you see here that came from the factory frame room , whereas a pro mod that'd be all I would see all of this correctly, would be all tubes and like I said, would start with a jig, not from a dealership, but other than that, that's the only part that's in stock and , actually the rear quarter panels, everything else is redone perfectly. carbon fiber carbon fiber carbon fiber yeah you feel good very nice and tight oh it's tight but man that seat is hard imagine going right into that thing I just couldn't imagine you know what I'm saying , so it's a completely different level.

So you took me for a ride, you know what I'm saying, I'm going to turn it around, we'll put the project in, okay, we'll ramp it up, yeah, sorry, this is in your way, and this race car over here . well first time on the road won't be last super hot today, I think yesterday was like 98 or 99, I think we're probably close to the same thing, but we're in Mr. Hunt's 2020

last time. We all saw this, we took it to tx2k and did 930, literally on the second run on the drag strip, we've literally been fixing some of its suspension stuff ever since and the car has actually been sitting around and we just added a new suspension system. breathing and a few little things and I'm

final

ly getting ready to send it back to you, so I'm going to do some little tugs real quick.

I just put him on his first map that I have for him, yes, map number one. Look at how it does it, the way I have this thing set up where we put it in manual mode, you can shift it and take it to the rpm you want, it gets the gear you want and then you just floor it and it shifts on its own and that should There, I think eight pounds of boost is this first setup, oh man, that felt good even at eight pounds, this thing is so much fun to drive, it felt really good, I'm going to stop and

check

that record so I can confirm the boost and everything with that setup.

I'm going to go through these different settings so I know what I'm ordering is actually doing what I'm trying to order and then just

check

ing the air and fuel as usual, making sure everything is good and safe. shit man that thing is fun and we have big tires although it's a street tire so it doesn't have radial drag right now so I can't get too much boost in the lower gears um I have a There are a couple more settings that will add quite a bit but I think they would just spin so it's not really worth it if we had a drag rail on the drag radio we could do that it sounds so good with the bypass tubes oh me loves. okay, turn around and let's do another one, we'll try, uh, second gear, eight pounds, traction control is off, if it spins it'll only spin for just a second, this thing even though it's got a street tire on it, uh , it's a big tire, so daddy recorder on, let's try a second again, perfect, perfect, stop recording again, it's eight at the top of the wastegate, so, like I said, about seven or eight pounds of boost, that's the first setting we have, so it's the lowest setting your Brembo brakes can get. strong once they warm up the brakes work great but in the heat you definitely hear them squeaking I'm going to go back uh stop check that log and then we'll figure out how to move on to the next setup very fast cars. fun to drive, it's hard to describe it through videos guys, but you know, back in the day, like an 08 and a 10, we built a lot of

twin

turbo

lambos and it really brings me back to those days, the way the transmission shifts and the shape. the car feels with the engine in the rear idling nice and smooth like the lambos did, we didn't put big camshafts on them, you know, GM stuff, we always put big cams on almost all the cars we make for our big builds so it's different having a car just idling and driving so smoothly but then when you get in it it moves and it's so much fun okay let's start filming.

I'll try it second again, it might spin a little bit, so oh yeah, that felt great. It should have been pretty much what my map is too, it weighs 10 or 12 pounds. I'll stop and take a look, but you can tell that second gear accelerated much faster, as did third, and then fourth and fifth is where it starts to give it more oomph. uh second, I think second speed was probably still around eight and then third, fourth and fifth is where I think I'm at 10 or 12 on the second map, but I'm going to pull the log real quick and leave you.

The guys know this, so the last pull was map two, which is eight pounds over the door in first and second like in the lowest gears and then 12 over the door in third, fourth and fifth onwards, um , and it felt great. looked good yeah that was so 12 at the top of the gate it actually only produces like 10 and then this heat like nine and a half 10 pounds of real boost so let's go ahead and move on to the next setup , this configuration. It should be, I think, like 15 at the top of the gate and with this I won't be able to go second.

I know it's going to turn really bad, so we'll go from third gear and see how the map lets me confirm. three yeah I always put it in track mode it's just a habit and then I turn off the trash control twice and then I put it in race mode and then again the way we set it up we can put it in manual mode to change it and then once you step on the floor you don't have to press the up and down buttons it shifts on its own so I'm an idiot and went to turn on mat three.

We drove a considerable distance from the store and I. We did quite a bit of jerking on the highway to get here and we're running out of fuel in the front, so this thing obviously has a mid-brand computer with port injection, so we put methanol in the front that fuels our side port injection. Well, I'm running out of fuel, I'm not going to risk pulling the third setting on low fuel, so let's head back to the shop, now give the car a spin and, if I have time, before the transport arrives. I'll make a top group like the one on map 3 from a roll to show you guys and then yes, map 4 is really just for the racetrack and with tires, mat 4 would be too much for the street, great on this video. here now and back to the shop so i came back from driving mr

hunt

's twin turbo c8 just one more test drive before sending it to him it worked perfectly we went to a different place which is a little further away from where i normally go and go.

The way I was having fun, I did a few more road pulls than I should have before meeting Dean with all the cameras, so I was able to run it on map one on map two and I'm glad. I decided to check because we were filming and doing a lot of stuff checking records. I went to check the fuel before running it on a higher boost setting and we were very low on fuel and decided to make the decision to stop it. It's not worth damaging, so in this video you guys were able to see it with about 700 to 900 real

horsepower

.

I didn't want to go through that again, running out of fuel, it was my fault. I should have brought more alcohol. with us, but anyway it's still perfect for the tires it's on, it would have spun very badly on the highest settings anyway, so I hope you enjoyed it guys, as always if you're new to the channel , God hit the subscribe button, comment below, let me know.
