Merry Christmas to all! I went to Aaron Scotts today to visit and dyno my 542 ACR. We were very pleased.We backed up all the claims that LPE had. We got 615 HP @ 5500 and 660 TQ @4500!!!!
If we lose 15% through the drive train....some say 16%. We take
615 divide by .85=723!! As far as the TQ,660..85=776!
The guys at LPE tell the truth! My 99 ACR is in the new Car and
Driver mag...just came out Fri.This Viper hauls A** Check it out.
Happy holidays! GB3

Hey George, what an awesome piece! It was good talking to you at Pomona. I can just see you toolin' around, with the skinnies up front, spankin' everything that croses your path. Once again, a DRAG RACER makes a ton of street power.dj

Hey George, right now I'm concentrating on getting stuff ready for the Viper Days Race at Willow at the end of the month. We've got to get a new ACR to work with no testing. Been there done that huh?!!! Pomona's the weekend after. Do you run Pheonix? You should come out early to check out the race. Mumford and some of the left coast guys are renting shifter carts on the Friday before the race.(see discussion group.) It'll sell out fast I'm sure. I'm certain you guys are neck deep in it right now and will be until then, but you know it would be fun! Say hi to Sauer for me. Best of luck to everyone in your camp this year.dj

GB, it's January 27-28 the week before Pomona. It's a Viper Days Race. Should be about 50-60 cars. Ask Purner, he'll probably be here. We are trying to do the cart thing Fri. the 26th.dj

Dear Shirley MulHennessey,

I forgot to mention that we are actually gonna mix in some turns. Hope it doesn't spoil your plans. Remember the round wheel is for this thing road-racers do that is called "turning". Try to bring a toothpick to pick the hay outta your teeth after you get to the end of the straightaway.

PS-bring your own parachute.
