739 Hp!

[captainlaziness]

Kenny Tran and Jotech Motorsports does it again! They previously built a tC into a 500 HP beast, but that car has been back in the shop and rebuilt into a 739 HP MONSTER!

Sweet... one of our guys might be doing a pretty major swap... so we'll see. He's shooting for 900HP.

[captainlaziness]

900?!? How's that? And you say swap, as is engine swap? We are talking about a tC right?

[burstaneurysm]

Yea, I'm not really at liberty to say too much, but...

Wow! I can't imagine that much power! I guess at that point, the stock tranny, rear end, engine, and everything else has to be replaced with stronger components. At some point, doesn't the car cease being a tC, and really is just a different car with a tC body on it?

Awesome!

I believe they're using the stock tranny. The clutch has been upgraded of course but it's still the stock block with upgraded pistons, rods, and head work. Amazingly, it's still got the stock crankshaft though. It's still about 90% tC.

Ahhh yes, the 2Jay-Z with Nas...shoulda seen that coming.

[burstaneurysm]

Yea, we'll see what happens... but supposedly, the plans are coming together.

How did i miss the is post? Love the car! Now if i can just win the lottery!

[captainlaziness]

Lottery, pshh. You just need to sell your spare kidney on the black market.

[burstaneurysm]

I hear Google bought out the black market. You can sekk the kidney, but they pay in g-bucks.

[captainlaziness]

I wonder how much money (or G-bucks) have gone into that tC....30 grand? Excluding labor and dyno time, strictly parts.

[burstaneurysm]

Yea, considering a lot of that is custom fabbed... I'd say a metric asston of G-Bucks.
