JETJOX is infamous around these parts
I heard stock headers with external waste gates welded on. True, that does take some time but... still

No need for him to re-invent the wheel. He's experianced in going fast, it's just a different platform. It's only a matter of time until things get crazier.

Did you get your black car back together ?

Markski, what do you think your car would do in the mile?

I HAVE NO IDEA... If I would know those car's 60 to 130s and the amount of shifts they had that would tell me at least half of the story.

I have the GPS box so I can easily find out.... but finding a good road without getting arrested and or getting killed is another story.
I have been plagued with some boost leaks, clutch issues... damaged turbos etc... I have been quiet lately but I have something brewing within the next few weeks. Im under 900 rwhp so I do nto think I can compete with 1200 rwhp cars.

I would love for Tim (one of the owner's of RPM) to chime in on the mod's
of his car but he was complaining Saturday (while held up by tech inspectors
over a stupid fire extinguisher) that he had $xxx,xxx of development costs in the
car and they wouldnt even allow him to run. I do not think simple bolt-on's will net
you 191 mph. I whole heartedly congratulate them, regardless of what is done. Todd K and I contemplated loading a separate new program into
my car Sunday afternoon (with more timing and a few other tricks) to run an
estimated 193 or 194 but decided against taking the time to do it. I was happy
with the 190.7 as it was.

Marty your car rocked! I think we should have a 6speed meet in March for the next Texas Mile. Someone needs to put it over 200 mph!

Markski what happened to your turbos?

Your source are usually right. This will be the biggest, baddest, and meanest TX Meet eveer! Hope all the dates work out.

I see :

Thursday: Road Racing
Friday : Dyno & Car Show
Saturday: Drag & 60-130 Event
Sunday : Texas Mile
Monday : call in sick

We cannot do the drag racing the same day as 60-130. The schedule as posted would be it if I can pull it off.
