Not to bad We left it at 840.5rwhp but here's the pull before hand. 24psi of boost w/ 16degs of timing. Few key strokes and its gonna roll. Don't worry about the graph, it's a TH400 car with a race converter they don't make pretty straight lines except going down the track

ehh... 834 whp....











impressive!

Can't wait to see it run!

couple quick questions tommy...how much for an 8.50 certified cage setup CM vs. MS and can you keep the AC with the full cage (do the front bars through the dash interfere with anything)...and why didn't this customer just lose all the heavy stuff and replace it with sheetmetal...the chassis is there so why keep the weight....you could still keep stock suspension points.

lots of interesting info here!

So how'd it run at Milan? When are we going to see it up here? Can't wait.

Not bad considering it all being shake down stuff. 1.41 60ft 9.41 @ 146mph. 4000ft da crap air. It will be going quicker soon enough

Ha ha - your 'crap'' air is 'average' air out here...lol

I think my car would kill you guys back there - have to get out there sometime.

Last pass was a 9.40 @ 148.5 mph . According to JB the da was over 4800'
The humidity was ridiculous . Car will see some more testing over the weekend . Car will be in Calgary running the heads up series starting July third .

There is nothing average about a baro at 29.0 and 75% humidity 125 grains of water. That ain't normal anywhere.

The DA at our track on Friday was around 3500....thats probably the best we'll see in the summer.

BARO was around 29, Humidity around 65....

Wow 9.40s @ 148.5 mph is awesome for the first runs. That mph looks promising, especially in that DA. I will be in Canada in July---going to visit family in Kalispell Montana, then head up to Calagary and Banff.

How is the track in Calgary? I may be racing there quite often when I move up to the northwest in a couple years. Spokane and Billings are the only 1/4 mile tracks I have been able to find--then of course is the awesome track outside of Seattle.
