165mph on low boost. Should have cracked 170+mph on higher boost but my hood was less than secure so didn't want to run it after I saw this pic on a guys camera. I've since added the center latch back on.



what it looks like normally.

Nothing like a hood flying off at 170+mph to ruin your day Probably a good call

Yep, you've got more for sure. I hope to run 160-165 in the half in our local event in May.

thanks man. I have it back at the shop now working out some little issues nothing major. Biggest issue I was having was my right rear aerospace caliper was grabbing while I'd be cruising, they think just from looking at it, its possible some of the problem was my driveshaft apparently being an inch to long its binding up the drivetrain to much, hopefully that will be fixed here in a couple days, other than that the only thing I gotta worry about it running out of gear By the way the old mans cars should run some good numbers to, just not sure if he's gonna put some sticky meats on the back yet or not, he's a little worried about that stock 6l80e lol

I live pretty close. I am going to do my best to make it! I won't be driving though.

Is there enough to do simply spectating?
