The main thing that kills it is the wheels. The custom paint is nice.

I beleve they tuned the hell outta it. What did they do, put 60lb fuel injectors on and crank the timing so it runs like nascar. I'm with Austin, what about the down pipe and u-bend. Gotta get all that exhaust out if you put all that fuel and air in.....

No, this thread is not what I had in mind. But I do check back and am interested in what all of you have said. But I must say you are all way off base on this car. It is toatally unique and one of a kind. All that has been written about this car is true.

Can you enlighten us on how 300hp was achieved?
According to what's been written about the car, 300hp is a long way away with such minmal mods.
When someone comes in here and starts boasting 300hp with an intake and a reprogrammed PCM, we're going to ask for documentation.
Got a dyno sheet?
How did you come up with the 300hp figure?

http://thrashercharged.com/showcase_htm/richard_petty_gp.shtm Here's a little more on the car. But just like what was stated, not much done to get 300hp. They cranked up the timming, added cold air, and put bigger injectors on it......

We're obviously not getting any answers.
One thing for sure is the car does not put out 300hp.
It still has the weak oem D/P and U-bend has not been deleted.
How much torque are you claiming to put on that stock transmission?

i like the car a lot...with some real mods it could be a pretty sweet 300+hp car... and putting a smaller pulley on without even a DP or even a u-bend delete. Thats crazy
