Just one clarification Victor, higher numerical gears have little or no impact on rwhp on a Dynojet. It is what I like to call an urban myth that a lot of people believe.

Amazing job, congrats to Jim, Victor, Vadim, George, and the entire VRP team....
Jim, you should leave the car for a couple of more days for VRP to fine tune it like Jangy's car, so that you won't have to worry about it in the future

Next quest...... 1000hp in a 65... 1000hp in a 55... I raised the bar quite high from the previous one. lol.. It took 2yrs but I am happy as heck right now.
The 1000hp 55 will be Havoc's SL55.. 5.7L built motor, heads with bigger valves, more aggressive porting.. bigger headers and exhaust, and 2 turbos!

Thanks to everyone for the support! It was a long road but I feel this was a major accomplishment to raise the bar. Once we get this setup running on a car with Top Mount intercoolers and some more aggressive tuning, we should see some 750hp - 800hp 55s running around.
I keep hearing that there are 575rwhp - 580rwhp cars out there but they are with top mount coolers.. we are close to those numbers and dont have the coolers yet so I think we will have a very potent combination once we are done.
------------------------------------------
Ahhh.. ok.. Well there you have it.. I guess I fell for the urban myth also... I've always been told that higher numerical gears equate to lower numbers on a dyno just like putting biggers tires in the back.
No.. it will work on anything.. we just happen to be putting it on Havoc's car because we want to build a 1000hp SL55..
Jim's car is tuned for 93octane and is tuned for his altitude.
hahahaha... Thanks Dave!! I knew I could count on you!!
Geez... tough crowd.
We've already got plans for when that happens.

First of all congrats to the VRP team and Jackpro for sticking with it, the result speaks for itself.
