That's right, stock, factory Ford long block and trans with Kenne Bell, E85 fuel system and a few simple bolt ons.

Car still has factory exhaust manifolds! Zero weight reduction/exterior body modifications, no tape, no ice box, no meth or nitrous...I drove it 130 miles home after the race!

The car had a lot more in it! The goal of 200mph was reached easily on the first pass and I decided not to run again. I'd really like to enjoy this car for a little while before finding the next weak link. ;-)

HUGE thanks to Maximum Velocity Performance, Lund Racing, Kenne Bell, Fore Innovations, BMR, Tommie Vaughn & Tousely Ford and a gazillion other folks.

How much power is this car making? Even though the Vette was a little faster, you made it look so easy compared to the ZR1 in the other thread haha.

how hard was it swapping to the 6r80?
Tranny, wiring harness, pcm and some sensors.

Honestly, don't know. It's a 3.75", 16 psi pulley. If I had to guess, 800 or so at the wheels.
It really was an easy pass. Car got a little sideways out of the hole and I had to pedal it all the way past the 1/4. It was tuned to shift at 6400 and not to shift into 6th, so I hit the limiter in 5th before crossing the mile mark. With a smoother take off and taller tires (mine were only 25.4" tall R888s) the car would have run 205+ easily. Then we could have changed the S/C pulley! It was also my first full pass at the Texas Mile. The previous two outings, stuff broke. :p

That is awesome Tracy. How did it feel passing the 200mph mark?
