This simply is one of the most incredible performance I have ever seen out of an N/A engine, with stock tires no less! I am a Big Block Chevy lover and have been since the 60s, owning several 427 Corvettes. The fact that this Corvette can destroy Dodge Hellcat Redeyes and would certainly be neck and neck with a Demon 170 with special tires makes it even more incredible.
I raced bbc from 396 to 538 ex pro stock.All engines were fully streetable and pump gas compatible.You need a lot of flow from heads to make 1000 hp N/A.When I reached 1000 hp with 8-71 blower,538 started blowing thru converters and trannies.427 were undervalued and you could get them for 2000$ complete here in Finland.I bought a 467 bbc with blower for 4500$ and it went 9.624/143 in my beloved 1964 Malibu SS weighing 3500 lbs with me in it.
Neck and Neck with a Demon 170? No. This car is for sure faster already than the Demon. Remember that his times are on those skinny tires. Give him a tire equal to the newest Demon and he wouldn't have to set the computer to take out nearly so much of the timing that he removes at the start of each run in the "FAST" series in an effort to avoid blowing the tires away at the beginning of each run. This car is clearly capable of much faster runs than it' seen so far in the series with the rules requiring a very narrow tire.. His biggest advantage is found in weight. The Demon is just so much heavier. The newest Dodge and it's Super Charged engine is making really good power. More than we see in this Corvette.......but the weight difference is a killer for the newer car. It's an impossible comparison for the new Dodge. It's a street car at the end of the day, even as it is tuned to the max with every factory trick available today to make it as fast a possible. On the flip side of that thought? This Corvette though is pure race car tuned way DOWN in a big way to meet the rules of it's racing class. Where the new Dodge really shines: Both these cars will easily run a low 9 in the 1/4 mile and despite the fact that getting faster is easier in this Corvette than it will be in the Dodge it will always go home in trailer. The Dodge you can flip on the AC, turn up the music and drive it home on the highway and off to work on Monday morning too. That's pretty awesome when you really think about it.
@@stevejewell9263 You forgot to mention the Vette looks like a naked model with a sheet draped over her and the Dodge looks like the shipping crate the Vette came in.
@@sidefx996 Yeah, no doubt the other tough comparison for the Modern Challenger. In a two car beauty contest the Dodge faces an insurmountable disadvantage of 'BIGGER" and no small amount of modern design done in a wind tunnel and with crash testing performance in the mix. No doubt which car I rather be in should the accident scenario come up. The modern car is way safer for sure. The advantage here still goes to the C2 Corvette on appearance though because isn't just smaller and far better looking. The C2 is a serious Contender for the title of best looking car ever to come out of Detroit........it's a Super Model from the Victoria Secret Catalog vs Serena Williams of Tennis fame. Some guys might actually prefer the modern car's appearance, same as there are some guys go in for the big muscular woman look but lets face it......they're in the minority by a wide margin vs those of us who see it the other way.
@@stevejewell9263❤ that is really awesome when you stop and think about it. What makes him think that it would hurt a Mopar guy's feelings anyway? That would be hard to do with the stereo on and the A/C fired up, especially if he was on the track and the air conditioner running😂
Oh yeah and don't forget that the Mopar is very dependable, & relatively maintenance-free... and the 'Vette will be leaking oil all over the place like Chevrolets do if you're really hitting them hard like he obviously does this one. it's a high maintenance, troublesome trailer freak comparatively.
Man! Congrats on the 9.10. That is freaking moving! On wide ovals!
Fastest Elephant in the class...OUCH 😂
Lol! Funny stuff!
Thanks so much! Always interested in the details of your set up. Former Hoosier here just cruising the west coast in my Corvette as often as possible.
Absolutely fucking love this! The ‘67, the ‘69 Camaro, and the black Vette. Keep it up !!!!!
My favorite car with my favorite engine... I'm in heaven!!!
Love the car! Thanks for the details.
Come on, we all know this is the hero car for your videos 🤣🤣
33 days …
Thanks for the 9.1 ride
Out of the whole thing I find it amazing it's making that power with that intake !
Thats one clean operation . What a car .
Like it or not,that bow tie is making some real power,sounds bad ass
Bad ass vette!
You’re living the Dream!!!! Love the cars!!!!!!!
Here for support
Wow you’ve lost weight! Well done.
Stock tires=slicks lol! All kidding aside it is amazing how fast you have that car going and how smooth it launches off the line!
Awesome tech story. Is it alum rods. And. A solid roller. And 074. Gm. Heads ? A gm lover too . Keep up the videos. Plz
This is beyond impressive 🤯🤯
So in the closet runs you have to run manifolds you can't have a nice long tube header I absolutely love it it's awesome everything you guys are doing congrats on a badass street race car just shows how fast those Motors can really be when I tell people this people tell me I'm crazy
Man, that thing is beautiful. Your grandpa must be a helluva painter.
Thanks! And yes he is!
Very impressive
This is what I love about the “ new school “ lovers with all their claims. Back in the day , cars with far less suspension and tire and track performed incredible times . That’s why the muscle era was the GOLDEN ERA and will never be replicated or beat in any way shape or form . And I wasn’t even born to enjoy it. It’s just history . Watch some old vintage vids and read some old magazines 👌.
Baddassss!!
Love that trump banner in the background too!
Very informative documentary. I’ve watched several. In them you’ve neglected to mention the rear gear ratio used. Is that a secret to the combination? You’re divulging other information, why not this? Also I saw a guy ask about the vacuum pump. Any info on that?
I forgot about it. 4:10
Can you give me info on your vacuum pump
I’m a Mopar guy and I’m not crying. Haha! I love this series. It’s my favorite drag racing series ever. On street tires. Haha! I’m building my 65 Dart wagon as close as I can with those tires when racing. But it’s going to be my fun West Coast Adventure Wagon. Anyway, thank you for the cool car minus it being a Chevy. Jk. Cool car. Haha
Thanks for sharing
i did not see or hear it mentioned... what is the rear gear ratio? 4:11 ?
A couple years back you said a C2 would be more or less unbeatable in F.A.S.T. As far as I know the 67 and 69 are basically the same frame, suspension, engine, etc from the factory. What do you feel is your biggest advantage of building a C2 vs a C3?
C3 is a better car. The frames are the exact same. C3 is more aerodynamic, and has a bigger cowl hood for more air. The 67 hood kills the engines power. C2 just looks much so better! I might touch on that in the next video.
@@HorsepowerDepot 👍
@jordan
Who does the rear builds for you?
Will you describe what's done to your diff, axles and stubs?
I have a 69 and it's staggering how much it takes to make one live with power and look stock.
?
What motor mounts do you use here please ?
Now I have a totally different look on Racing if the car don’t go faster than 9.1 on slicks, it’s dead to me.
Haha! Still way cool cars out there on slicks or radials!
Yeah and they limit cubes
Do they have to sound stock?
“Supposed” to. A l88 with side pipes sounds pretty rowdy stock though.
How much does it weigh as it sits here? Sweet car!
I’m doing an entire video on weight! Should be the next video.
Car weight? 3200 ? or other,, Good... merci.
3500. Just did a video on the weight of the car.
How long has horsepower depot been doing this stuff to have such a large collection of cars?
We’ve been collecting cars for 3 generations.
@@HorsepowerDepotvery cool!
Who does your shirts?
Konstant Design
As a Mopar guy, Is there any kind of weight restriction for any of the cars? Clearly a Hemi Cuda is not going to be as light as a 67 Vette or any year Camaro and from what I understand none of the 68 Race Hemi Darts, Barracudas or the the Ford Thunderbolt are not allowed to race in the F.A.ST. Series but for some reason all the Yenko cars can race. It would seem that just about any 427 Corvette’s would have a lock on the F.A.S.T. Class because of its light weight and the fact that the engine is so far back in the chassis it has an unbeatable weight transfer compared with any other make or model in the class. That anybody running a big block Vette or early model Camaro has a fairly good chance of winning just about every time they run unless they are going against another early model 427 Corvette. Another question would be is there any chance that the series would go as far East as New England Dragway in NH? It’s not some rinky dink track as it is on the N.H.R.A. Seasonal schedule and is quite safe,I really enjoy watching both classes racing with a completely dealership “stock look” and I’m sure that you’ll have a good turnout.
Headers vs exhaust manifolds is the main reason for race hemi Darts/Barracudas and Thunderbolts being excluded.
🙏😑🤲🇫🇷👉😜
I Love the Trump flag!!!
Much admiration and respect. Talented people make the difficult look easy, and that is you guys!
Thank you!
Love your videos ! Congratulations on going 9.10 . Can't wait to see that 8 second pass !
That is a very well put together car. Makes the 600hp big tire/wheelie bar guys look silly 😂😂
It’s fun to race big tire cars!
It's pretty incredible whats actually possible with know-how and expertise vs guys who just throw money at shit.
These cars really are impressive. Like others I'm a big block Chevy fan. My area 35 years ago was dominated by big block Mopars on the street. Didn't really like this much, so I decided to put a 396 into my 69 step side. It just had some good gears, decent cam, good compression, home ported heads and factory cast iron Holley carb intake, and some wide slicks stuffed up under the step sides, This little truck had more Mopar street kills on it than cancer, Funny thing I didn't spend much money either, that's the best part. It was hugger orange and drew them in like no other,. Several Mopar guys spent lots of money to finally beat me. It was a good time at the age of 20 and only demonstrated that a BBC with the correct combination and not a lot of money can be a deadly combination on the street and the strip. Love these videos thanks for doing them!
I was expecting traction control and a huge pull at mid strip... then the video started with INSANE launch 😮
I think F.A.S.T. rules still outlaw traction control. I know they did in the past.
Traction control isn’t outlawed. But all traction control will do is slow you down. Traction control is used to save a pass. It’s not going to make your car that doesn’t hook, hook better.
@HorsepowerDepot - I know it won't help it hook better... but a lot of guys in stock tire/skinny tire classes use it. It doesn't help hook, but it help a TON with boosted cars with mid-track wheel spin. I saw a guy with a turbo '95 Impala SS (rebadged 9C1 Caprice) turn that car into a rocket. It didn't hook any better... but stayed tight to a 9.50, and pulled like freight train after 100ft. Nowadays it's not a big deal... but back then, traction control took his margins down from 6 tenths, to just 3. That's huge in 9 second bracket.
@@HorsepowerDepot
As a product of the '60s, and a dyed in the wool Chrysler FREAK, I'll have you to know; that was very well said!
☝🏻🍺🍺🍺😝🍺🍺🍺👌🏻
Very very very. Cool!❤
How the heck is it that damn fast with a dual plane intake with manifolds etc ??? So cool
Jordan I’m familiar with the bore and stroke of both the 555 (4.56x 4.25) ci and 565 (4.6x 4.25) ci BBC’s. What is the bore and stroke of your 560 and is this slightly unusual displacement a rod ratio or block accommodation?
Ancient Chinese secret 🤣
@@gnxtacyancient Chinese secret, huh?
Fast and straight! What do you do to your Corvettes to take the place of traction bars? How often do you change the u joints on the half shafts? This year was so good to you, what are next years goals. Always good to see your videos. Stay safe.
None of them have traction bars. It’s not needed with the irs.
@@HorsepowerDepot that is amazing, so which do you like better, a solid rear suspension or IRS? Thanks for the feedback.
That lonestar RV is sweet man
Gramps did a nice job on the paint
Keep killin it dude!!
He’s been painting his entire life!
best corvette = when i win lotto i will get you to build be a white one very similar - but daily driver event cat ! great video and thank you and Family for your effort and videos ! - i bet your DAD is a wizard of racing engine builds !
If that bumpstop is making the car safer, then they should be happy you did it
Making Ford guys mad too!
Life long Mopar guy here, but I have to give credit where credit is due again, you guys are KILLING IT! When you were in the 9.3s I was thinking dang, I hope DD can find a few tenths…
Looks like your car leaves a little softer than your dad’s, but I guess you 60’ better? Anyway, great job, great channel and coolest class in drag racing IMO. Don’t know why it didn’t spread out here in the west.
Same with me. Mopar dude but totally respect what he's doing here.
I hope Dave can find some power and et. It would be some fun racing!
@@HorsepowerDepot 👍
Frist time on this channel, that is the baddest stingray,pretty close to perfection might even be there 👏
It'll definitely go 8s
The cleanest most sanitary looking 67 I’ve ever seen. Most gear heads would agree the 1967 Sting Ray is the most sought after model Chevy ever offered. What a beautiful example.
"Stock Appearing" is the part of the title that is most important. Very fast Corvette anyhow-
A near 8 second n/a street car. Right down to the tires. Turbo & Blower people, be amazed as I am. Next spring is gonna be interesting...
Its crazy that it goes that fast on that Tire, love that car.
An 850 carb supporting 1000hp is impressive, unless its bigger then what they say it is
It’s been reworked a bit.
Thank you for sharing a full walk through. I have a 75 that I’ve dropped a 632 in and wanted to know what you had done.
I am just an idiot in a garage but I’ve watched your channel and always wondered.
Thank you for the great content.
Congrats on setting the record !!
YOU R THE BEST!
SHARRING IS CONFIDENCE !!!
IM PASSIONATE WITHOUT RESOURCES ...MANY LIV'N VICARIOUSLY THRU YOUR DAILY DRIVER TRACRAT$!!!! THX SO MUCH!
I was lucky enough to purchase a 435 horse 427, From Harmonic Balancer to the end of the Muncie 4 speed tail shaft and everything inbetween...the complete engine, bell housing clutch, pressure plate etc and Muncie 4 speed with the Corvette Shifter in 1970 that was in a 67 Corvette that had hit a light pole in the median on Interstate 70 in the spring of 1968. The car was totalled and thru a cousin that worked at the salvage yard I got first chance at it and bought it sight unseen over the phone and spent the next day driving to Kansas City to get it. I was not disappointed a bit either. My Grandfather and I took it home and a Week later I had bought my 2nd 68 Camaro but this one was a SS with the big 396 and the M-22 Muncie and 12 bolt Rear Differential. We spent that entire winter holed up in Grandpa's Garage working on the car and when Spring rolled around we had ourselves a Drag Racer! We got the NHRA rule book and went to work in September and the car rolled out of the shop in May of the following year....we changed over and swapped out and built everything in that car to go to our local Dragstrip and be legal off the trailer thanks to a friend of Grandpa's who was a Drag Racer himself and he knew the rules backwards and forwards. I had 2 real stout engines that when we were done with them the only difference was one was a stock bore 396 and the other a stock bore 427, both had the Rectangular Port heads that we spent almost a month solid re-working them (within tbe rules mind you)....they had the same solid lift Cams and Springs and up graded push rods, basically we did 2 engines at the same time so when we ordered parts we got 2 of everything.....we did everything that tbe NHRA allowed us to do so if we got tore down we would be within the rules.....we did some off the wall stuff ....some worked....and some didnt.....we met alot of famous Big Block Chevy people along the journey and each one was as friendly as could be and helped us so very much get up to speed on stuff we had no clues about...I wont bore you with name dropping but we have photos to this day of me as a teenage kid, My Grandfather and a honest whos who of Big Block Chevy Drag Racing in the 70s. Funny thing is....I still have that original 435 horse 427 Engine that got me started all those years ago. Its sitting on a run stand in our shop and though its been through a lot and it got bored 0.30" over the last year we raced it otherwise its just as it was when we stopped running Modified Production Class. With its custom built tunnel ram, twin 780 cfm Custom built holley double pumper drag racing mechanical carbs built by Karsten Blume (K-B) carbs, and you can go out prime the oil and fuel systems and..spin it over a couple of times and then turn on the juice to the Mallory Gold point dual point distributor and it will fire right up before it makes 2 full revolution's and run like a champ yet.
This is TRUE HIGH PERFORMANCE HISTORY NOW !
Thanks so much for bringing this story and car back to life....somehow the Stingray just belongs on the drag strip holding world records !
Thanks Again.
Bad ass ride thanks for sharing the video about it !!
You hurt my feelings...lol...great stuff...love the blue banner on the wall...
Smart people can accomplish anything with enough money.
You gotta be here in Alabama with crimson and white car riding around an elephant ROLL TIDE
I'd give a dollar and fifty seven cents to see what has been done to the heads that can feed a thousand HP with a single '850'.
Impressive vette
Talented team
Imagine the original owner and / or the story of that earlier accident
You should upgrade to a dominator carb at least a 1050 and k and N airfilter
I just can't get over how uneventful each pass shown was. Light goes green, car goes down the track straight as an arrow, collect 9 second time slip. Nicely done.
I thought the same thing. The launch is so deceptive. Campared to say a Dodge Demon 170. Light turns green, Dodge say, "CHARGE ! !"
The light turns green for the 'Vette and it says, "Let's go". With the same outcome, minus a couple 1/10's and a few mph's. Very little fanfair, very cool to watch . . . ✌😎
If any of your competitors don't believe that they too would benefit from the bump steer kit/shims and the safety it provides maybe they shouldn't be racing.
My thoughts exactly!
It's amazing, almost not real. But, the time slips prove it! Badass!
Impressive for sure!
Really enjoy the content! The C2 corvette is my favorite. Also I like the transparency. Looking forward to next year vids!
Thanks!
Beautiful vette! I like the white over the red, even though I'm not a red fan!
Awesome u learn something new everyday😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you added non-stock parts it’s not stock, right?
Wonder how many understand the fastest elephant comment lol
I love when people actually understand that. Lol!
Amazing performance - is the roll cage removable or welded in?
It’s welded in. 4 holes in the fiberglass that can be patched up.
No windshield trim = cheating.
she hooked-up good!
I can’t wait for you to get in the 8s ! 👊👊
Would the extrude hone in the exhaust manifolds offer much improvement?
Won’t see much of an improvement, if any. It’s all in the camshaft.
Hellcat who ?
What rear end ratio is she running?
Building a C3 SBC now. Ordered a TKX5 speed to play with the Foxbody boys. I put my car on a diet and hoping this little Small block can run with them. BES has built me a few motors over the years. You are getting great numbers for the weight. 🇺🇸🦅🏁
That's an awesome car! Thanks for sharing. What rear end ratio?
What CLASS u running?
560ci and 1000hp... 🙄
IF YOU WANT TO SEEK YOUR CURIOSITY. PUT THAT SAME ENGINE IN A CAMARO AND SEE IF IT DOES THE SAME TIME. KEEP THE WEIGHT EXACTLY THE SAME, IF YOU HAVE TO ADD OR TAKE AWAY SOME WEIGHT. YOU'LL BE SURPRISED JUST HOW MUCH FASTER A CAR WILL GO WITH GOOD AERODYNAMICS.
Way to ruin a classic
Stock Tires, LOL yeah with gobs of VHT added too!!
Nothing is added to the tires.
@@HorsepowerDepot BUT to the track??? :)
Depends, I’ve been 9.30s on a test and tune night with garbage prep.
A 1964 Ford Thunderbolt was a legal vin titled street car so i think one of those done to FAST rules would go even quicker.
I like learning 😂
I’d love to see this vette run a Tesla plaid.
I’d love to make that happen. Maybe we can get next to one next summer.
