Guess the RWHP/TQ !! Carlisle Contest!
Hi everyone! What's the real world rear wheel performance specs on a "stock" 1987 Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette ? Well, let's find out! I've been very curious myself and now the time has come to find out!
Let's play like this.. everyone post their respective guesses like this:
300 hp / 475 tq
_____________________________________________
Let's say the actual peak numbers from the graph turn out to be 325hp / 525tq. What we'll do then is take your guesses and subtract them from the actuals. In other words for hp 300-325= 25 and tq is 475-525=50. (We're only taking positive integers as a result-- this way it doesn't matter if you guess high or low). From there-- add the two results together (25 + 50 = 75) So, just for numbers sake-- you were 75 points off. Again, the closer you are.. the lower the number of points. The person that guesses the closest obviously gets the least points and you WIN!!
A couple pointers, hints and guidelines for this contest:
1) We are looking for PEAK SAE corrected figures as generated by a Dynojet 248e. Averages are not counted and also realize that the peak numbers for both torque and horsepower occur at different rpm levels. We're not looking for an rpm pointer guess.. merely just the PEAK numbers as shown on the graph.
2) Hint- on the street this car pulls and pulls like a mutha. Neck snapping torque is absolutely phenomenal!!
3) Related to number 2- the car is stock. Yeah, yeah.. the air filter is a K&N and the lid is cut. Everything else on this car is Callaway issue and has been calibrated by their technicians to their specifications. Most updates have been done to '91 specs.
4) The cats are still in place and we aren't talkin *****.
5) Callaway has updated the turbos to the Rotomaster units.
6) No mufflers are on this car. It has the stock Callaway megaphones on it.
7) It runs 54"-55" Hg at wide open throttle in the "dyno" gear. The car does not exhibit boost creep. 93 octane was used for testing.
IF YOU WIN?? Well, you must stop by the Callaway Owner's Group display at Carlisle from August 22-24 to collect your free case of Yuengling Beer. Shipping is not available. Substitute beers can be requested-- but Yuengling is a damn good beer so let's stick to it! Don't drink and drive! Anyone is eligible to win. Tell all your Corvette friends about this!! Tell them about the CAC and Callaway! :cool
