Wow!!! Joe those are some really impressive number! I can't wait to see what she'll put down once you guys figure out the intercooler issues, maybe a nitros spray over the intercoolers? I know some people have done that, what do you think in your car's case?

Wow that is awesome. Congrats and I can't wait to see what that thing makes with bigger intercoolers.

Joe,
fantastic news !!! I am so happy to hear your car will hit the texas mile.
This would also be a perfect time for DrRob99 to test his car's power vs your car's
power. The 1 mile strip does not lie...
Good luck, we will be rootin for ya!!

If I make it down there I'm going to be in the SRT8 probably. I didn't plan on running the mile, or even attending this time around. I was going to wait until October when I'll have even more mods
I THINK it could break the 200mph barrier as it sits, but it would be like 200-201 and that's it. Plus I think I'll be at like 6800RPM already. At 1.5bar it doesn't matter what tune you have, thats a LOT of pressure on the motor. Horsepower = cyl pressure ... The more horsepower you have the higher amount of cyl pressure there is. At 666rwhp SAE it's a lot of extra force on the motor. A tune does not effect that one bit because like I said cyl pressure is relative to horsepower. I'd feel more comfortable at those speeds with a set of head studs. A 1/4 mile passes and dyno is a LOT less stress than a full mile pass. -Chris

But what if it only does 199.2mph!!!!!!!!! It's either go ***** or go home. This time I'm going to pick the smart thing and stay home LOL. In October I should have head studs in the car and it will be ***** out pass at 26+psi! Then I'll be repping my 200+ mph club shirt!
