What is the most power folks have gotten out of a 5.7?

(460 RWTQ for the Super Spartan/430 RWTQ for the Sparrow) Equally important is for the TQ curve to maintain ityself W/O falling on it's face to enable keeping the HP curve on the rise to 6000 RPM or a bit more. That allows the gear to be held to a shift point that will bring the recovery RPM after the shift on the top of the TQ band. High HP @ the expense of TQ will not get you low ETs as your 60' time will suffer & a TQ curve that falls off too soon won't keep you accellerating long enough to make the most of a great 60' time.

and a perfectly good thread just became a my vendor is better than your vendor thread!

I don't seem to have any problem with my Sparrow running 12.0's at 113+..

Wait till i put these new 3.06's to use and some skinnies on the front....


Dyno is cool and all but take her to the track..

and this surprises you why?It's an easy retort though when you remeber HemiC is still the only n/a 5.7 in the 11's.....with a LITTLEBOY.

wait, you mean that because it has 30 ft lbs more on the dyno.. its not faster?

i thought superspartan cars have like 90rwhp more on the dyno than that 3yr old little boy ?

dont you know we dyno race now.. it saves the enviroment by not doing burnouts and wasting tires. the rubber trees will be safer.

Wow going form a whippled 04 cobra to a stock 5.7 how is that going for ya? I would miss all my old power!!!!! I couldnt think about trading my car in for somthing that was dramaticly slower. But I guess when you have a family they come first!!! talk to PPP andy has a great line of products. Dont get suckd in to the cheapest parts you can find. the saying you get what you pay for hold very true to these cars

Do we still have to wear our helmets ????

[torRed #1169]

Helmets optional.



I'm pretty sure Gary had over 440 in TQ.

awwww man

[SublimeTime]

It was around 448 on the torque

[torRed #1169]

So the difference was 12 on the torque side.

Not enough to carry on the war of spartan vs sparrow is it?
