And we will sneak up on a fast pass... Several shake down passes to make sure it's all good to go.... trying to change the rotation of the earth on the first pass is a good way to make the car rotate in an unusual manner... butthole over teakettle... not for me.... I know that there are often several people that usually hang around to Sunday afternoon and hot lap their cars... A couple years ago a guy made 24 or 25 passes....

Actually, this is not jacking the thread. It is possible to go over 200 with a blower and nitrous but not many do it.....very tough. It was clear to me that if you are going to be a land speed record holding car you have got to have some turbos. One of the reasons I started this compound boost thread is because....I'm thinking I would like to push it a little over 200 on the mile and as close as I was I realized I would never hit 210 with the current set-up unless a hurricane force wind came up behind me..... But then again, Josh is a little off topic...lol.

Some of the cars had glory runs holding up quite well, but those 200+ mph capable cars were breaking stuff left and right this past March... Transmissions, axles, blower drive pulley brackets etc... If it was easy, everyone would be doing it... We decided to take the March run off and are building for this coming October... If all goes well it ought to be interesting... and I hope to see you get that damned elusive 200+ run in... I talked to a few people and the recurring theme is to get an LS2 throttle body... stronger motor for the throttle blade than the LS3... To this point I've only run the stock LS3 throttle body and have had no issues... though we are going bigger finally...

That depends on how quickly you want to do it... In a standing mile it's typically thought to be right at 1,000 rwhp,
Though with the right weather conditions it's been done with less and other cars have failed to do it with more power... The current 5th Gen record for the mile is 217... about 1300 rwhp and perfect weather conditions... Warm track, cool air and a strong wind blowing straight down track... I've been 183.7 at the half mile, 217 at the 3/4 and blew a head gasket out.. 183.7 is about 8 mph faster than any 5th gen has gone in that distance... no spray, no traction control, just spinning and grinning, bout 1440 rwhp at the time... Given no distance limit, I'm guessing 700 -750 rwhp might do it..

Jess struggled with a throttle body problem, another guy was fighting the wind... As was Jess, it's dammit tough as there are a string of cars that have not made that elusive run yet, with lots of power... Jess will make it in October I have no doubt... I'll help in whatever fashion I can though his car is pretty dialed in already,,, just needs a break... Weather, traction etc... I didn't run in March since we made the decision to get the car right before trying again... And the Sr tech told me not to come back without the cage being finished after going 183.7 at the half mile... I was tech inspected to 229.99 mph and would have very possibly gone beyond that... I have no issue with the full cage mandate as it's about safety and my car will be in the cage fab shop this coming week... Ten point certifiable cage...
