I'll wait and see how it dynos before making any predictions for the track. I'll be insulted if it ends up less than 125 mph though. I'm sorta hoping 130 might be realistic but I don't have a frame of reference. I've never driven a car that could trap 130. But it feels faster than the 125 mph cars I have driven. That's all butt dyno though, so who knows?
On ET, it all depends on how good I get it to launch. I'll probably get a shitty time with a good mph. Lol

Thanks for all the support guys! Dyno scheduled for 12/16. It'll be a loaded dyno to get all the part throttle stuff ironed out. I've got it close, but I want it to be right.
Lots of great parts on this car it should run really well! Dont know what kinda air and elevation you guys have out there but that could be a limiter on et and mph.
I must say I am impressed with your complete disregard for you credit card bill at the end of the month.

I save up in advance. For the most part. Before I did this I had originally messaged Tony a year prior about doing a 408, and I just got so unimpressed with 408 results and at the same time so intrigued when his 220's had just come out knowing they should be better than the very well proven mamofied 215's. So my 408 build budget got dumped into what has now become a max effort 346.
And I'm quite certain I made the right choice. Definitely on the people I chose to work with, which is just as important as the parts.
