Flaco just called me. He pulled the exhaust off the down pipe and made no other changes. Tried to make the 200 mph run and @ the half mile the truck cut loose and was like changing 4 lanes on the interstate, he shut it down. He had no traction what so ever. The 192.9 run was through 3 1/2" single exhaust, this truck really comes alive when you pull the exhaust off. He is going to make another attempt in the morning with the exhaust back on, just going to turn it up a hair. Video will be posted shortly.

What are you talking about Flaco that was a 1/2 mile burn out on your second if I had ever seen one. But dam impressive keeping it straight, unlike the lambo at the end do doughnut in the in field.
Congrats again on the 192+ mph pass
Get there early and stage so you can make a pass with no head wind.

Congrats on the mph. I saw the 192 run. Very impressive! 
Another lambo had issues at the end of the day?

Congrats on the time. We're watching it from the big end. I'll make sure to hand you your time slip tomorrow 
Stay on top of it because the red L is shooting for 200+ as well. I heard they broke the oil pump on friday so today was "shakedown passes."
Definitely been an interesting mile!

Good way to set the bar bro. What people need to know is we not only do trucks, we do full builds on cars also! We will be a sponsor on LS1Tech as soon as we get all the info to do so. Look out for what happens tomorrow everyone!
