    We recently got into the 8's, at just over 170mph!

    Awesome, thank you! We knew FWD and the unprepped surface would not be in our favor, but we thought we'd have significantly better weather with a shot of running the other cars down on the top end.

    With the new, beta firmware from. AEM, we've done an event without cam errors! Now we get to start seeing what the car takes. We were out at Street Car Takeover Atlanta this past weekend and set another personal best at 9.3 @ 163 mph! If you caught us on Netflix's Fastest Car, our showing...

    Be sure to check us out on Netflix's Fastest Car season 2! We didn't have a good showing, but the odds were stacked against with the weather. It was like 38 degrees and started raining just before the race. They also would not let us test the 2-step that day... I pulled it back, but we still...

    Still at it. Zach towed the car from Atlanta to Denver, where I live to run Street Car Takeover with the intent to get the 9 second pass. First pass, he wanted me to raise the boost (22 ramping to 24 PSI above 6.5k RPM - we made 830whp at 20 PSI) and annihilate a 9 second pass... But we...

    Zach knows him as well. It was a good race up to the 1/8, then someone lit the rockets. The motor isn't done yet. It's going back together with some replacement rods and copper gaskets. We are pretty determined to run a 9 on this motor with mostly stock parts. I've made a few changes to the...

    That last pass was on track for 9's, but the stock graphite gaskets have limited passes. It pushed two fire rings out of the way and sucked water, so this happened. He's got new, copper gaskets coming and two rods to replace and we are still going to use this motor to get the firs 9!

    It's not mine, I just tune it... But I'll let Zach know. Thanks!

    So, the car was actually running 27 PSI this when we started using the higher maps. 1st pass: Let out as he saw the hood pop - 11.5 2nd pass @ 13 PSI: 3rd pass @ a slow ramping 27 PSI: 4th pass @ faster ramping 27 PSI (but experienced drop and rise - The track produced loads we could...

    The car will make some passes at Street Car Takevover - Atlanta this weekend. We'll see how it holds up... Traction will be an issue until we get the wheel speed sensors in to enable traction control. For now, the 2-step is working. :)

    Stock rods are pretty damn strong... This is his old NA build. He has an O-ring'd, aluminum rod motor ready to go after we blow this motor. At that point we are going for 1,000whp. He got the clutch done and took it for a spin...

    Still can't say I know it... And I know a lot of fast SHO's.
