Switzer R1K+ Build - because 1000awhp is not enough...
Wanted to share some of this GTR goodness with everyone over here.
Last week we fired our first R1K+ car. Previously an E900 GTR that currently holds the stock engine ET and MPH record for the R35, this was an excellent opportunity to showcase the ease of upgrading an existing package from Switzer.
An in-progress engine shot from last week:
Friday we started on the dyno tuning. Running on just the wastegates we made 800 awhp. Later that evening we recorded 950 awhp at significantly less boost than was required with the R1K package (35psi).
So far, we expect slightly more than 800awhp on 93 octane (could equate to 1000 crank HP) and well north of 1000awhp on VP Racing Fuel's Q16.
Stay tuned for more testing results and videos.

It is white, wrapped with a flat white, looks amazing!
We touched up some exterior bits on the bumpers and skirts to make it stand out a bit more, once we get it all finished up I will be sure to post some nice pictures for everyone.
