511 FE Twin Paxton

[ERA Chas]

If Tom makes 800 all hooked up at less than 8 pounds of boost (more like 5 most likely) that's still in the 650 wheel HP range. A live axle and slicks would be best for that if you want 9 sec 1/4's.
Just drive the car and roll power on and off. Don't drop the hammer or sidestep the clutch and you'll preserve parts. It's really a 'presentation' thing. Any of 'our' builders on here can find near 800HP n/a on 93 octane (in a 500+ CI build) with big roller cams, 400+cfm heads and a big enough Dominator.
But twin Paxtons is outrageous.....

OK, I be sure to take my beatings quicker.

Rodney, yep, Tom built my engine, but he wasn't the installer. So far, it's been a great engine, especially when I take the car cover off and actually pull it out of the garage.

Regarding the trans and rear end holding up, who really cares? I doubt Rodney will be testing the outer limits of that engine anyway. He's a waxer.

And did everyone forget that a Kirkham with 720 +/- HP beat the pants off a new Ferrari 458 at the track and they ran them more than once down the 1/4 mile strip in Vegas. That was a 10-second run and I didn't see parts left all over the track.
