I am stoked! Project Monster DD is finally over! Took forever, but finally finished my dream of a MONSTER S197 daily driver.
Car drives like stock with an animal waiting to be unleashed at any time.

Was it hard - bet your *** - took me two years and trying just about every combination under the sun - but it is finally DONE.

YouTube - Chevy Killer S197 GT 3.4 Whipple

3 pulls back to back! I know it's over fast, but we did take it to 6600 rpm believe it or not - it just pulled that fast...lol

Yep - this a a 4.6 block 3V, stock computer, no weight shaving (4080 lbs.), full ac/radio, etc. driven to and from the track. I'll be getting track vids of this final set-up this weekend to see what she does.

 

Awesome, I really can't believe how fast it revs out and I think those numbers are decent

 

4080 lbs? Do you have a pallet of cinderblocks in your trunk?

Edit: Holy crap that is some serious power! How long do you think the stock block/rods will hold at that level of boost?

 

Congratulations, awesome numbers! Your car looks beautiful also. Nice build!

 

can't see vid, how much power is it making?

 

I bet the block will last for a while. We built a car for a customer that went low 9s and high 8s quite a few times on the factory block. He said it was the stock block, but I doubt it still sports the stock rods and pistons.

 

Yea - of course not. It is the FRPP iron big bore boss 4.6 block with a 3.85 stroke and .020 over on the pistons for 330.4 ci

It has custom diamond pistons with rings you'd have to see to believe, manley rods, kellog crank and a stout valve train by livernois. I also run a custom AOD housing with 4r70 internals full manual and have a boat load of mods keeping heat in check with big power.

Nope, you ain't making (or keeping) this kind of power on stock anything my friends...lol

There is a complete mod list on page 2 of my car domain link in my sig.

 

Holy hell that was a fast pull! Awesome car! Awesome numbers!

 

****, that is nice. Wanna trade cars

 

The only stock he knows is that they keep rear tires in "stock" for him.

Very nice! What kind of air fuels? Timing? Forced into open loop? What MAF/Injectors?

 

Real fast, Sweet.

 

wow, that WAS a fast pull, haha! Any videos of it at the track or on the street?

 

There's plenty of vids on his car domain page in his sig-- with the old Kenne and the new Whipple. That Whipple is a beast!

 

700rwhp! Thats amazing...That has got to be scary on the street!!!

 

Hey Adaaam,
Take a look at the vid again. I saw 797 rwhp. With proper rounding I say that is 800 rwhp.


Just awesome by any account!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I was there at RET that day! I stood behind the car around 20' back during the dyno run and it still scared the bejesus out of me!

Great job Mark! And kudos to Greg at RET!

 

Hahhahaa, that's awesome Mark..... instant boost, incredibly quick pull to the top.... congrats man, hope you're finally happy! (for now atleast )

 

VERY nice! I am STILL dead set on a pair of turbos, but that is a VERY tempting alternative!

If I may ask: why did you go with the iron block? I'm assuming it was because you wanted the larger displacement that is possible with the 3.7" bore, but..

 

7,8,9..whatever Scoot

 

Dude, that's crazy it revs and gets to full boost so fast. Nice.
