Nathan,

I think from the sound of his last shift, he was definately being conservative. He must not have wanted people to know what he could really run...

The track is Bristol, Tenn. That is the MTI vette. It is very fast and there is definitely more in the car. I believe he also plans to add nitrous. This Sat. a couple of 422's will be dynoing at MTI in Houston.

Guys!
I have some info regarding that 422 C5 for those that are interested:
That car is MTIs own project C5.
It’s got 422ci LS1 still with stock intake (very restrictive at those levels)
The car made 474rwhp & 469 rwTq

The first time out that particular car went:

11.53 @126 plus MPH with a 1.90 something sixty on the street 19” tires...

On ET Streets:
60'=1.68
1/8=7.16
mph=100.5
1/4=11.04
mph=127.56

I read that it had nothing removed and was not setup for drag racing at all…
Will definitely run 10s NA real soon…


I believe that run in the video is when they hooked up NOS and the clutch totally gave out.
I think it wouldn’t disengage at upper RPM thus the second long waits between shifts you hear in the video

I’ve heard that they just figured out the clutch problems and will be trying it out real soon.

BTW: Another 422ci car made over 500rwhp with bigger cam and modified stock intake which is what future prototype intake MTI is working on (should be out soon I hope) is based on….

Stay tuned for more!

I'm not familiar with MTI. Where are they? What all do they do? Do they have a web site?

Thanks
Jeff

Is this car in the Bristol area? I live in the area and would like to take a look at it.
