it's a beast, they may even be giving NHRA Pro Mod (Top Doorslammer) a shot with it. they are talking to NHRA about possibly getting a weight reduction because of being almost 200ci smaller

car was taken out for some passes the other day. here's what Mark and the boys had the say about it
''Well after a poor test session a few weeks ago in las vegas due to a electrical problem we headed up north to bakersfield for a paid rental, the ET limit was cars no faster than 7.50 so we hoped to use this event to figure out our problem. 2 passes into the event we were still shaking our heads with a bucking bronco LOL and problem not fixed, after eliminating just about everything except for a MSD timing controller we figured we had nothing to lose by bypassing it. And yes, it fixed it and we took the car to its first proper launch and 330 pass. We looked at the data, talked to the track officials and were cleared to stretch her legs a little so said lets take it to 800 ft ( a little beyond half track). The car left the starting line like a trapped ape and we watched as Greg rowed through the gears and shut it off at 800ft, we laughed as we looked up at the board and saw the car passing with the chutes out and up flashes a 6.75 @ only 182MPH lol (the car was of course on the brakes and chutes open). We called it a day and looked at the data and were even more suprised to see that the car was only making 15psi when the throttle was closed!! A ruptured boost line was found after the run ( rubbed a hot wastegate and melted) The 60 ft was a very conservative 1.06 (not bad for her first half pass) . We are excited to get her to the vegas street car super nats race in a few weeks to see what she can do on her first full pass!'' |
