Default 1000+ hp 2008 Shelby GT 3 Valve

2008 Shelby GT Convertible
BBR 298 Stroker Shortblock
BBR Stage 2 Camshafts
BBR VCT Lockouts
BBR Stage 3 CNC Ported 3V Heads
Kenne Bell 2.8 Mammoth Supercharger System
BBR Twin Plate Methanol System
TR6060 Transmission w/ Spec Twin Disk Clutch
American Racing Headers 1 7/8" Long tubes with 2 1/2" Primaries
2 1/2" Catted X-pipe
2 1/2" Magnaflow Cat-back System
Fab9 9" Rearend with 4.11 Gears
BBR Xtreme 1000 Fuel System w/ Fore Precision Products

This car made 834 horsepower to the wheels. That's through the 9" rear which is an additional 11% drive train loss over the standard 15%
So by doing the math, this car makes an estimated 1053.36 Horsepower at the Flywheel. DAMN!!!!!

Badass car, the only things I don't like is the hood, wheels, and rocker stripes. Very nice car though, I think having the kenne bell outweighs the cons of the appearance anyways.

God I hate that hood and spoiler...but it's not my car.

That's pretty badass. He should've gone bigger lol. Doesn't KB or Whipple have a huuugeeee twin-screw out? I know whipple has a 3.4 but I thought there was one even more powerful than it...

impressive indeed!!! love the fact that the under hood is painted and the strips were painted there as well, details really can set a car apart.

Yep... It's a plate methanol system that goes under the 2.8 Kenne bell. BBR makes them for the 2.6 & 2.8 Kenne Bell supercharger systems.

I know you're making that with a hole for a nitrous fogger TOO right?

Question: Do you guys do your own CNC work?

We have a separate facility were we do all our CNC work. It's not a part of the speed shop.
