Mr. Tiago!
Impressive looking set-up!
Would you care to share more pics of your ride?
What type of exhaust did you use?
Thanks you!

low boost should sufficce for 200mph.

don't know if I will trust this car at that much speed, will be an experience for sure... if I feel comfortable then we can go up with it.

I remember INTM8 with his LT1 TT ran 199mph with 840rwhp I'm sure you car will pass 210mp+ mark With low boost.

with high boost I'm guessing world record will be broken

Does anyone remember the mid-nineties Car and Driver Lingenfelter trans-am that took flight at Bonneville? I think it was dooing around 215-220 when it turned into an airplane. And that was with salt skinnies and hundreds of pounds of lead ballast (which IIRC was in the rear and a major part of the flying issue). Without siginificant aerodynamic downforce additions I'd be wary of taking an F-body too far over 200mph. Good luck at the Texas mile!

I used to have a Porsche Turbo 944 that I'd had to 163 many times on Texas highways. It did nothing but feel more stable as I got up there. It was a great aerodynamic design. Now with my 96 Z28, it just feels more and more scarey and unstable once it gets past 120. The windows pull out and it feels like it's going to come apart. It's felt like that new and ever since. No way I'd drive that thing anywhere close to 200mph no matter what HP it had. Hats off to you Tiago!
