How did the car feel at those speeds? Was it pretty solid?
I assume you still have the fabbed aero panel under the engine bay.... I doubt GM ever tested the car at 200+ 1/4 mile @ 140mph... you gotta admit that's pretty hilarious in an AWESOME sorta way

Thanks Brother...
At speed, it was very solid, it was getting to speed that was dicey... If you saw any of the video, you know the launch is slow as hell... A hover board would have a better 60 foot and a VW bug from 1962 would probably beat me to the 1/8th mile...

Congratulations, seen the car on one of the videos on Youtube or FB when it popped up.
Report seems to imply you're still having shifting issues ? |

Another issue we had was not hitting the commanded boost.. we were 4 -5 lbs short of commanded.. We will fix that by putting a CO2 controller on the waste gates... There were also a couple times in 3rd and 4th where I wasn't indicating full throttle, going as low as 82 %... She was darting hard and I might have subconsciously lifted a little, or I may just not have had my foot buried in her hard enough... We have some sorting to do but we will be ready in October... Mostly a driver mod...
