Default Texas Mile
Made four passes. The first pass was just to grt a feel for the track and shut down area, 164. The second pass after we leaned it out some, 180. Third pass 182, then the hose to the intercooler blew off. Got it put back on for the fourth pass and went 185. We had a blast, very safe also. It was good to see DJ'Z out there as well. Maybe in March you have your new ride.

We where on the way to the 200mph record that run when it happened.This is kind of how it went.
Run 1 on ten 10psi and getting the feel for the runway went 150ish
Run 2 15psi ran 175mph
Run 3 20psi hoping to keep the theme that every 5psi gained 25mph when the engine lost compression
Bigger motor,Bigger Turbo coming soon.Not bad for a 4.6 with a little Turbo
