That car is making some good power for sure. What size tires were you running front/rear?

Would narrower tires help or is it counterproductive since you are having a tough time putting down the power already? I like the front bumper and how low you have it off the ground. No mirrors either

We ran 310/40/18 Dunlop Race slick. Its a European Lemans tire. we knew it would survive at 200+, and it Had OK traction. It really needed to be HOT to stick.

Tanner Foust went 200+ in a Ford GT (said it was slightly moded, didn't elaborate further) on Super Cars exposed. I don't recall the exact speed, but, it was just over 200. It appears like every additional 1 MPH over 200 MPH is a huge accomplishment (over a 1 mile distance). If this is the case (I believe it is), then there must be a night & day difference from 205 & 210.

I personally have over 500 hours in it, plus 2 techs and one engineer. We put it together over the course of 3.5 weeks.

As for cost, there is over 45k in parts alone, plus fabrication and install. The package tuned and running out the door is over $60K
