Thanks Peter. That was on mid boost. Couldn't turn it up. I think my TC is fried from the road race at Msr. We will see later this week.

Love it! 231 in a much more streetable car than SW's Supra is really impressive! I hadn't been following this build, but will need to start!

Congrats to all.

Kudos to Joe. A new record for the books!

I'm really happy for Todd, and glad you didn't listen to the people (inlcuding me) who said your 60-130 was fine a few months back! Just goes to show what can happen when you don't settle for acceptable perfomance.

Tommy Banh never dissapoints. Can't wait to see his efforts on Sunday.

John is killing me with all his great rides. I'm green with envy.

Sorry to hear SW had a failure, but his new record will not be topped anytime soon.

How did the Ford GTs do?

dude your car rocked! very impressive.

Nice run!

we ran 193.8 mph in the mile in the gtr today. we estimate that in the cool air it was likely around 700 rw hp. we set the boost at 19 psi and it spiked to 21 psi. i dont want to hijack, check the gtr section. this thread is for the fastest 996tt in the mile!

Hey congrats BlackHorseTurbo!

Joe's GTxxxx is amazing, but doing 192.3 on K24/18 and a Tip is quite an accomplishment.
