Sunday was a no go. I got one run in at 169.9 before the headwind got stupid. We had steady 20 mph winds gusting 35+ straight at us. Kinda took the fun out of it. In the end, I had 5 runs within 0.5 mph. Not too shabby for a bone stock daily driver with zero prep.

Wheelspin wasn't helping here. Dragy was saying my 1/4 mph was down 2-3 mph. The 60-130 times were 2 seconds slower than normal. I tried all the tricks I could pull off. It started getting a bit better with a full tank, all my tools and stuff in the trunk, rear Michelins to 29 psi and fronts to...

You jest but.....

Looking at 20 mph headwind tomorrow by late morning. I'll make a pass early. Another racer I know thinks his 08 Z06 has 170+ in it. I don't think it does. The hired shoe has been struggling with it and the elderly owner has been riding her pretty hard. In fact, I jumped in the car with her in...

I think we're done for the day. Winds rolled from the side to head on. I started to find a little traction and shifted at 5100 to grab a pile of that torque. Computer shifts at 5800 and I think that's too far past peak power. Inconclusive. There was a good head wind and I dropped 2 mph. I'll...

It's been a tough go so far. I'm struggling for traction through the first 300 feet. Without the limited slip it would be hopeless. Dragy says my 1/4 mile is 3/4 second slow and my 60-130 is off nearly 2 full seconds. I wanted to see what the car does in stock form so I'm not doing any prep...

My factory speed limiter is 186 mph. The limiter is easily disabled with a flash tune. Delimited, the AMG V12 cars have turned 212 to 217 mph before running out of gear.

Yep! I bought this truck in 1997 and it's still with me.

Thanks. I was telling my coworkers that the problem is not running the speed but is running out of room to do it. I've already had this car to those speeds. It still pulls well up there. In fact, I can tell you that it gets there easier than some higher hp cars with twice as many gears and...

The Texas Mile is this weekend and I'm on the list. Think of it as a one mile drag race run one car at a time. The Imperial still lacks an engine and my D250 wouldn't be very interesting with the little Cummins topping out at 92 mph. This means I'm stuck running the 2013 CL65. Think of it as a...

That's a Wilson throttle body. I like it because it's shorter than most and allows me to run the taller intake. Wilson has lots of throttle bodies, including 4500s.

The mighty Imp. The Imp pusher on the dyno. The new and improved Imp intake.

The feetsmobile.

I think he's just confused.

Kinda hard to sleep with you folks poking me and making all that racket. I finally got my password reset and was able to log in. Life has been running me ragged but I'm starting to find the time to get back to the 541 build. The Imperial is growing impatient. The stroker made it to the dyno...
