Stock Appearing Corvette Runs 9.37 146 On Stock Tires! Find Out How! FAST Races Record Holding L88 

It would be close to Pro Stock times.

That would be priceless 😂

Years ago I read that Grumpy used micro switches on his shifter linkage to adjust the timing advance on his 327 '66 Chevy II (Grumpy's Toy) and was running mid 11s on 7-inch slicks. He was a trickster, cut from the same cloth as Smokey Yunick! I miss those guys, they were so much fun to follow. Horsepower Depot does basically the same thing, only with electronics.

@@danmyers9372 Actually, if you could somehow have this 70 Vette at the very first ever Pro Stock event, this car would have won easily while setting both E.T. and MPH during the Competition - not too mention No. 1 qualifier. Bill 'Grumpy Jenkins driving Grumpy's Toy (a 68 Camaro) turned a 9.99 at 138+ mph to defeat Ronnie Sox in the Sow & Martin Barracuda (a 69 model if I remember correctly). A mid 9's and lower car was the stuff racer's dreams were made of back then. They simply did not exist (not in any 'stock' class, that is).

Thanks! We do love the FAST series, Its fun to show up to the track with a "carshow" car and wow the spectators!

Thank you!

Even the interior, other then the roll cage.

Car would go 8s for sure with some good tires!

Try not to get to upset Bro but this 560 cubic inch BES race motor is NOT the 427 L88 Chevy supplied for the Corvettes...these guys who race this type BS are just playing with themselves...

How so ?? Factory APPEARING

Awesome! Thank you!

C3s are pretty affordable compared to other cars of the same years.

Thank you very much!

Tony and the guys at BES build killer engines!

@@HorsepowerDepot with Darren Morgan working at BES i bet it only gets better

Bischoff is awesome

Thanks for watching! It’s what we love to do!

Thank You!

Thanks! A lot of cool things on RU-vid. I've learned it's pretty hard to stand out, getting subs is actually pretty difficult, but were growing pretty quick!

@@HorsepowerDepot ….I would love to see you grow. I just discovered y’all a couple of weeks ago. I found myself going back and watching most of your older videos. A lot of cool stuff. I’m a fellow Hoosier. I’m pulling for you!

Thanks!

Thanks for watching! We just bought 12 G70s from you guys. Plan is to bring a couple new cars out this year!

@@HorsepowerDepot - Any issues with tire failures? You are WAY exceeding the speed rating of the tires.

Thanks!

Thanks for watching! Thats awesome you have a real L88! Things were bad ass right from GM!

@@HorsepowerDepot im up in ill, not far. I have huge collection of gm muscle, and g German, and new things . Some nasty buicks that Greg gessler did for me. I'd love to see the rides some time. Hit me up. Dan..

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thanks for watching! USA!!!

The 70 LT-1 with the 11:1 motor is a BEAST! the 71/72 smog motors lost quite a bit not only with the compression drop but, the 71 up "smog heads" dropped quite a bit of power as GM was frantically searching to reduce NOX emission levels for the 72 model year, combustion chamber quench between the early heads and the open chamber later heads cost quite a bit of mid range torque...That's kind of why you will see that 71 & 72 LT-1s were often speced with 4.11 gears to make up for the lost power with gearing...Ford and Mopar didn't emascualate their Muscle Car motors until 1972 . My 72 LT-1 with factory 4.11 gears ran 103MPH @ the Drags while my 70 LT-1 ran 107MPH with 3.70 gears....Big difference in the way they run and what fuel they like, even with mild timing that 70 LT-1 isn't happy on 94 octane pump gas, put race gas in it....It's quite a bit happier!

For Me, I Think 1970 Was The Francisca Sarpong Pinnacle Summit Year For HORSEPOWER, IMHO, Thx.

Thanks!

August 25-28 we will be in Norwalk for the NMCA event.

Thanks for watching!

I had a 74 with a 406 making 500 hp/tq and ran low 12's on street radials. This was in mile high air density too. The car actually hooked very well.

You should rip them off for a pass to see what the car runs.

@@HorsepowerDepot Preach it brother!

Love seeing cars get passed down to family, getting fixed and getting back on the road!
