KR158 Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I love the SS and the owner of this SS was good enough to come run it. He also has an FGT with a big whipple that would kill KR. I just wanted to see what a pulley tune KR could do vs the 725hp SS.When I bought the KR the dealer had a 725 SS and i picked KR and my buddy took the SS but we had not run them yet. In this vid the KR has a vmp upper pulley and tune, lm 67tb and a lower pulley. Made 595whp on 91 pump and as you can see has a ton of low end. You can see the SS doing better as we go faster. We shut down at 155mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldlugs Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I love the look of that GO SS! Hard to believe it didn't outrun the KR there. Makes me wonder what my KR would do with a TVS on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terumi71 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 The difference between having the stock sc with a 2.72 pulley, L&M 66mm tb, L&M plenum, and going tvs with a 2.72 pulley with same L&M setup is a substantially noticeable difference. No comparison. The KR should have come with the tvs to begin with. That SS looks super cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbackg Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Nice vid KR158. Only reason I did not get a KR = no vert option. 595 rwhp is impressive with the stock SC. What lower pulley? 10% or 15% Did you also change out to the high flow inlet elbow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbypt Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I had the privilege to run a 650hp version of the SS from a roll. 5/5 times I was able to pull the SS. I thought i was just lucky! Regardless, I Love my KR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZD263 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Nice video KR158. I'm actually a bit surprised at the result considering that the SS is the 725hp version. Your RWHP with the stock blower is impressive. All other thnings being equal, imagine what a TVS could do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twicebitten Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I love the look of that GO SS! Hard to believe it didn't outrun the KR there. Makes me wonder what my KR would do with a TVS on it... i have a tvs on my kr .and it runs great.i recommend the tvs to all kr owners.looks factory and does this every single time i drive the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a "comment" you placed somewhere on my profile (photo section???) and then someone else told me that my PM box was full. I cleared out 2 pages of old PM's and should be able to get new ones now. Later, Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KR158 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I can say with the vmp upper and tune and the 10% lower car was fun. Car made 695whp and same wlbft with the vmp tvs on it. I can say the vmp tvs set up lost by 2 cars to a 680whp zr1. Vid is posted here somewhere. Owner of zr1 could not get over how fast my car was. I think a set of long tubes would make KR even or beat zr1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Rodgers Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Have to agree, they looked dead even until about half way when the SS started catching up, only difference was the KR got a HUGE jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Watch it again, the guy in the SS had his right hand in the air when the KR started to take off, then he drops his hand quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REAL ONE Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I wouldn't say a "huge "jump. The KR was also consistently pulliing away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 A half a second is a HUGE jump, I would say he had at least that, and he was catching up until he laid off which was obviously prior to the KR. Of course he was not catching up in the beginning, that Jump obviously makes that impossible. Based on the 10 times or so I watched it I think if they hit it the same time it would be close, but it appears as though the SS would have taken him.

FiaCobra Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I think the KR got the jump on the SS. I raced [shelbypt] once in my nearly stock GT-500 (short throw shifter) vs his modified GT-500 (3.73 gear set). I was able to pull away from him because I got a slight jump on him. After that, he was able to walk away from me. The KR got the jump. The race would be much closer otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whammer Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Not sure what the vid is trying to show or prove? A stock KR is not going to outrun an SS. And if you mod the KR it proves nothing, Similar mods to an SS would just increase it's power even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modified though, they have the same potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imatk Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Wow this is really impressive actually. I mean you're talking about a LARGE HP difference between the 725 SS and the KR and it still doesn't win. I wonder if this is due the the SS being heavier than the KR? Heavier 20-inch wheels, and heavier hood etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
