He's benefited from running on some really well prepped tracks of course lol.

He just want at Atco with his Cecil tune and blew the tires off a few times until he reduced starting line boost and slowed down the ramp.

This car always impresses me - Ron doesn't that thing have the baby 83/75 exhaust wheel and smallish t6 housing on it?

It's an S476 with a billet wheel. Exh wheel is 87mm. It's a full size T6. 1.10 AR.
forced Inductions built it. Martin Smallwood picked it and the cam for me.
Looks just like the typical S475

Nice job, Ron!

That's cooking @ 3450. Get the short time down another .1-.15 and you're in the 5.5 range. Impressive.

Great pass! Any plans to address the aero? Would be kinda neat to see what a belly pan and some air dams would do for ya. Tape off the front end and do a myth busting for us!

They shut down Kansas International Dragway this year, been open since the 60's! Feel like a dog without a home.

Thanks guys. Appreciate it. I guess I’ve been chipping away at it for 10+ years. Gads.

I’m thinking home made big *** cow catcher front spoiler….ha!
A buddy has a fancy carbon fiber chin spoiler on his nova. Looks good, but $1800! Ouch.
A 70 Camaro spoiler fits.

Bummer about your track Adam. Anything else close?
I’m wondering when the environmental folks will try to do away with all Motorsports….

Cardboard, fiberglass, and speed tape first! Gotta make sure its worth carbon fiber $! Def had planned to try a bunch of silly aero tricks with the Model T… It gets all kinds weird at 140+.

40miles east we have Mid-America Dragway. It’s a smaller 1/8th mile track. Then Heart Land in Topeka is the closest nice 1/4 track. I always drove mine to the track, so it’s a bummer for sure. Figure if I have to trailer a car I might as well have an altered or something crazy light weight.
