Dyno Shootout at TurboLab in Orem UT

Shelby AC Cobra with NOS, 560 RWHP

TurboLab, a custom automotive tuner and turbo installer in Orem UT, held a dyno shootout over the weekend with some truly incredible cars in attendance. How incredible? Here is a small sample:

  • 2010 SS Camaro, Supercharged, 650 RWHP
  • 2009 Shelby GT500, 530 RWHP
  • Shelby AC Cobra Replica, 560 RWHP
  • Dodge Viper GTS, Supercharged, 660 RWHP
  • Toyota Supra, 1400 RWHP (Supposedly, I left before this one got on the dyno)
  • Dodge Viper, Twin Turbo, 800+ RWHP (Again, I left before this one ran)
  • First Gen SS RS Camaro, 540ci Merlin w/ Turbos, 648 RWHP

In addition to these, there were a number of other cars in attendance, including the STS ZR7 Corvette, an R34 Skyline GT-R, a first gen Skyline GT-R, a 2010 Shelby GT500, and at least a dozen other cars of various makes and models.

The event was a blast, and we had a chance to ride in both the supercharged 2010 SS Camaro, and the supercharged Viper GTS, both of which were crazy fast! There is nothing quite like the screaming howl of a supercharged V10 engine as you pound through the gears faster than you might imagine possible.

All in all the dyno shootout was a success, and we eagerly await the next one. If you need any tuning done, or want to dyno your ride, definitely check out TurboLaboratories.com.

    A 1400HP Supra? There’s no way it’s that high…but holy cow, that whine of the GT500 is beautiful.

    I was told by the photographer who came with the Supra that it has dyno’d at 1300-1400 previously…It was trailered in and had a full rollcage and a parachute, so I’m inclined to believe him :)

    Cody’s Supra put down 1492 WHP.

    The Viper put down 1208hp. That’s Veyron killing power yo! Yeah the supra put down about 1482 and won (obviously), that’s ridiculous earth shaking power! Looking forward to seeing it out at Rocky Mountain Raceway!
