    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    Thought I would take some time to explain the day and how we managed to get Blucifer over the 250 number. We had spent the day before unloading the car and going thru tech inspection, they spent time reviewing everything from the open long studs, cage, fire suppression etc and even watched as we...

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    It took a lot of support from a lot of people and I definately give them all the credit. I feel like I had the easy job, push the pedal down and steer straight. I appreciate all the support from you guys also and looking forward to seeing what comes next. David

    WTT for 06 Coupe

    I don't know what 08 Z06s are bringing but I'm guessing 06 Viper coupe would bring a little more. Maybe you would be better off selling the Vette and that would open up a lot more opportunity to buy the Viper you want as many wouldn't be interested in trades. Good luck with it and hope to see...

    Back in the saddle again

    I know this feeling well considering I'm on the third engine in my Gen 4. It always started for me with deciding to do some minor bolt on and before it's over I've got 1000 + HP and trying to figure out how I can get more. Glad to hear you got yours back together and getting some use out of it...

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    Very true, we will fix the issue and be back out there with a fresh attitude and a working tune. I will get it to 250 plus MPH at some point.

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    I'm sorry to report that Dec 7th just wasn't our day to do 250+. A few seconds into the half mile shakedown I knew something was going wrong as the car wasn't making the power it should have. I'm not the most knowledgeable on tuning or those magic voodoo boxes that make all the decisions for the...

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    Well we are down to 4 days before we have to load up trailer sometime Thursday so on Friday we can get our badges, get the car thru tech inspection and do our prep work at the runway. We have multiple tunes in the car, each a little more aggressive than the previous one. We set up the boost by...

    Carbon Fiber Hood Repair help

    It definitely has a lot of cracks/spiderweb cracks going on, between that and the fit if it was mine I would buy a used OEM hood. I think that hood will continue to give you grief even after it's repaired.

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    Had the car on Larry Macedo's dyno on Saturday and he has started making tuning adjustments. At 15 lbs of boost it made 1027 HP, at 16 lbs of boost it was 1097 HP, we need to work it thru the 5 positions eventually have the top position at approx. 22 lbs of boost. We still need to fine tune the...

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    Here is a video from Wanna Go Fast in Ocala of my first run ( 177 MPH I think ), I definitely didn't know what to expect and I'm sure my lack of finesse shows. The clutch is a quad carbon and very much like a light switch, either on or off and no in-between, then add the boost on top of that...

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    Updates: The attempt was scheduled for Oct 26th originally and after we got our badges to get on facility on the 25th we got a call cancelling the 26th and moving the date to Sunday the 27th which was better since it was suppose to rain Saturday anyway. That didn't last long as they called and...

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    We do some minor changes for better aero such as fog lamps are covered, all seams are taped off with helicopter tape, mirrors and wipers removed, we lower the car overall but the nose is lowered more than rear, that keeps a little more rake in the car as anything over 200 tends to push the rear...
