"Alright guys,last run on the dyno 923 awhp 803 tq @ 28 psi and 7200 rpm.Intercoolers are holding us back right now from making more,lots more actually but no time to fab bigger ones.The car is in the trailer and off to Texas.

Correct Jaggs,if you were going by RWHP then we were at the mile at about 975 RWHP or 920AWHP.For this upcoming Texas Mile we will have atleast 1050AWHP or about 1100 RWHP on tap.Although addding a chute and some safety gear did add some weight

I thought it was two mile runway - 1 mile run -1 mile shutdown

Either way - I will see you guys in October.

Are you and BlackHorseTurbo planning on doing TX2K10?

TX MILE is 1.5 miles total before you hit the tumbleweeds...
1 mile run with half mile shutdown. If you look at the non-chuted cars that went 225 mph + (like Eddie B and Joe), you quickly realize that you (me or almost any sane person)
probably would not have the "stones" to make such a run

.

I would highly recommend a chute at 220+, as it is a very short shutdown!

I think this thread was started by Suman, because his car will do 400 in the two miles and he will need 5 parachutes from the space shuttle to slow him down ;-)
