My car did well today on the dyno, but due to recent changes with my setup it is running out of fuel on higher boost levels. LMR is changing the regulator and possibly injectors in the morning and then are going to try for some big power.

I dont really know what to expect at the mile. I know my car has the power to do something great, but Im suspect of the transmission holding up under that much power for that amount of time. I will be happy with anything over 210mph as my car isnt really geared for running the mile. As far as TX2K goes Im not running any events at the track as I dont want to break the car so close to the mile event, but the after hours runs will be game on.

RC, that is a impressive build you have there. I look forward to seeing the car at tx2k and the mile this year.
I think you're 100% right to second guess the auto's ability to perform at the mile. It is a huge test for any high hp car, but that tranny will be pushed to the limit 20 seconds in.
