Brad Brand brought out his new engine set-up to the Clash race here in San Antonio. 700ci and twin 88mm turbos all packed into the black coupe. I forgot my usb cable for the camera so I won't be able to post pics till Monday morning. Can't wait to see his first pass this evening. This is going to be insane.



Update here are a few pics I took. Brad said he maxed out the 2500hp dyno with 12lbs of boost.
The best the Brad posted this weekend was 7.29 @ 192. He has the boost turned down quite a bit. He had just got the car off the dyno before he came to San Antonio. Lots more left in it.



He has a 160lb and 55lb injector on each intake runner.

It has enough power to straigten out the road. He just does a brake stand, and it pulls all the slack out of the road up ahead.

Who needs to corner when you can buy some wings and fly that bitch right off the strip.

Who needs to turn corners when you have 2500+rwhp to pound the ground with. Turning corners is fun and all but running 6's in the 1/4 at over 200mph is a rush not too many people will ever experience. And from the looks of it that car will well be in the the 6's when it is all dialed in. 190mph traps off the trailer I could only dream what that feels like.
