I appreciate the kind words. The quarter mile and autocross was done in May and June of last year. I couldn't believe how long it took. When it didn't go to press in November, December or February, I began to doubt if they were ever going to publish it.

Doh! Ah well it's still cool what you ran at that track that day and under those conditions and down on power etc... Also, that's the thing with drag racing, it's so hard and frustrating. Unless all the moons are aligned something always isn't right. Hence I'm trying to give up that addiction lol

I have no complaints. Dave did mention the ambient temperature was 100+ degrees and the asphalt temperature was 135 degrees. All in all, Dave Colman did a great job.

Chad,

You're my new hero. I like a man that is focused and says to hell with what it costs. Great write up and good luck in pursuit of 1000 hp.

great article. the commitment to speed and power was impressive. but i think you are selling yourself, the tuners and the car short by only running 0-60 and 1/4 mile. with all that power i would like to see 0-150 or 0-175 times. do 100-150 roll ons. at the end of the article there is a reference of dollars spent to lower the 1/4 mile time 1 second, if those same dollars dropped the 0-150 times by 7 seconds it starts to look like a better deal.
