Question about the intake: Are you planning to pull airflow off the windshield? Planning on making anything to seal the intake to the cowl so its not pulling warm air? Or no concern there?

it’s on the list of things to try, just want to get some baseline testing in.
Well after a week of trashing to get the car ready we finally made it to the dyno to get the tune. Everything went smoothly until the Go Lithium batteries gave up, luckily Nate had a 16v XS power battery instock. So after getting the car to idle and setting up the TB blades we were finally ready to make some pulls!!
We ended up making 6-7 pulls with the final numbers being 735hp and 506tq. Started off pulling it to 8000rpms and moved it up after each pull to 8700. I can’t more anymore happier with how it turned out.
After loading the car up I stopped to pick up some more fuel and headed strait to Orlando Speed World! My goals were to just shake the car down, I got to the track late and was only able to get 2 runs in. Both were only a little passed the 60ft, but for a soft 2nd gear @4k launch it pulled a 1.3s both times. With at least some seat time I feel more comfortable in what the car will Baseline and am going back to the track next weekend to get some numbers.
Great numbers and congrats on making your first passes after such a long build! Bet it feels great to be back in the seat..
It’s like a monkey off my back finally getting the car out to the track, the cars is going to be an absolute freak. Going back testing this Saturday to a private track rental.
Well looks like we are going to have to wait until next week to make some hits. I’m glad they called it before I made to trip out to the track and unloaded all my junk.
Well we struck out again on Saturday with the weather, got all the way to the track this time. Got the car unloaded and all setup to make a pass as we were putting the hood on it started pouring. The event is rescheduled for the 19th of may, will have to wait till then to finally get some passes in.
To not make another wasted trip across the state I decided to bring the car to the local cars and coffee. I had to park across the street and unload the car sooo you could say it’s a street car now.

Finally got a chance to try to install the headlight stickers, iv never wrapped before but I found heat to be very helpful. Now they are far from perfect but look good from 5 feet!
WE F*^%^**^%G DID IT!!!! Words can’t describe how pumped I was on to get this slip. For the 2nd full pass In the car I’m ecstatic! I have not made any changes to the car other than launch rpms and what gear, just scratching the surface on this setup and then we spray it!
You may also see the MPH is down a few, hit the parachute early again 🤦🏼♂️

Awesome! Congrats on killing your goals. 7.XXX next???
I’m gonna keep it NA for a little bit to get seat time and go see how far we can get it. 8.3s or so would be real nice for just motor, plus I’m also worried that if I spray it I’ll never won’t want to spray it.
