Default Big thanks to TTP

Matt it's been a long rollercoaster of a ride thanks to some bad luck and unforeseen circumstances, but now that it’s over I couldn’t be happier with the end results. You guy’s have built me a truly amazing motor. This thing idles and drives with such fantastic manners that it’s just hard to believe. I just got back from a drive that ranged from melting the tires thru 3rd gear and probably would have went right thru 4th if I had the *****, to driving down the road in 6th @1200 rpms and idling thru the WAWA parking lot with no cam surge at all. This is exactly what I wanted. GREAT JOB! I’ll get some track times as soon as my schedule permits. I’m sure I won’t be disappointed there either. Again I just want to thank you and your crew for staying the course and building me a great package.

Thanks. I sure hope it traps somewhere in the 130's. I hit a best of 123mph with 100 less hp, so it should be interesting. I'll see if I can figure out how to post the graph.

It should be about 130-131 at his given weight my car was a 132 with 563 rwhp and a 3425 race weight he does have gears tho so that might help getting him down the track faster.

Thanks Mike.. It is truly one sick car. Hope to break some great times down at the rental. Oh and there is a good chance you'll see me @ atco next weekend I'll give you a shout when I know for sure.
