[QUOTE="FischerMotorspo, post: 14065590, member: 130669"] Time and Money... just would have been more of both. It would definitely make more power... a lot more. Customer had the screw and decent exhaust when it came in... our thoughts were take the SC record and then perhaps go to turbos if the customer decides to push past that. There has been light discussion about going for an overall record with the car, the harness was built to convert to turbos later if desired, but it would take another large lump of cubic dollars to step it up to that level, and I doubt that is anywhere on the customers radar anytime soon. Customer came to me and stated he wanted to go 215 for a personal best. We discussed it, we have a ton going on, and I was of the opinion that we didn't want to play if we weren't shooting for the record (221). After the discussion, the customer was adamant that he wanted a 220ish car but didn't want to go overboard (pay more) to build a 240 or 250 car. I think it's a 230ish car from the data... I'd be pretty surprised if it went quicker, but who knows, it's not dialed in and on a very soft tune up right now. All I know is that it has everything it needs to go 220+ and looks like it will do it... just that small matter of actually doing it, instead of talking about it! Bench racing means nothing at the moment :) Cheers [/QUOTE]
