Kennedy's

brings you a

Street/Strip 4th generation F-body  

We did this project with our customer Richard Krause. Richard (who is also known as "Doc") is often at the shop helping with various computer related projects. After extensive discussion of his goals and preferences we recommended a setup emphasizing massive midrange torque to move this heavy convertible (~4,100lb curb weight with driver). The following components were selected.

• 377ci stroker shortblock featuring a Callies crank, Oliver rods, and custom JE "blower" pistons with ceramic coating.

• Our own custom hydraulic roller cam grind.

• Procharger F1 Supercharger.

• Kennedy's Custom Twin External Pump Fuel System capable of supporting up to 1600 supercharged horsepower.

• Kennedy's Custom Water Injection.

• Kennedy's ported AFR LT4 heads with GM LT4 intake.

• RandomTech coated headers with dual high-flow cats.

• Full race TH400 Transmission from Carl Rossler with a Coan 4,200rpm stall converter.

• Dynotech steel driveshaft.

• Moser 12-bolt rear end.

• Kennedy's Custom 6-point roll bar.

• Spohn torque arm.

• Accleronics low-impedance injector driver driving 90lb injectors.

• Kennedy's custom Dynotuning.

After building the motor and installing all of components we performed extensive dyno tuning. The results below were obtained with pump gas and conservative timing.

Custom Nitrous System

We have completed installation and testing of a custom dual nozzle "wet" nitrous system using components from Nitrous Express. The dyno results were impressive: 876hp and 973ft-lbs of torque at the rear wheels. This is the most powerful street car with full emissions equipment ever tested on our dyno. 

At the track, the new setup has met all of the owners high expectations. In October, 2003 the car ran a best ever 1/4 mile in 10.22 seconds at an amazing 140.40mph. We can't emphasize enough that this is a fully equipped, emissions legal car that is regularly used by the owner for commuting. Even the A/C is fully operational. The car is a poster child for our "dual power adder" concept, which you may read about here.   

If you interested in a very slick nitrous installation on a 4th generation F-body or any other type of car, please contact us for details.
