Mark, huge congrats!! Perseverance is key! I could now say I helped you work on this monster, even if just removing a bolt.

Hope to see slowberry in action soon.

Thanks Jody. I think I will focus on 1/4 mile ET next season so I'm sure you'll catch me around. I got the trap speed 1/4 mile manual record couple weeks ago at cecil at 165 MPH just rolling out.

It was grudge car rental so the boards were off. Was super cold and I couldn't put enough heat in the tires so it was just ice skating around, fully let out in 2nd gear and pedaled in 3rd and 4th. I think the car can do 168-170 since 165 was on the limiter in 4th gear..

one of my runs is at the 10 minute mark.

Nice build, good to see a turbo revving properly! Cup heads so have you lost all the variable valve timing etc?

I don't use the cup cams that are locked, i use custom GT3 street cams and have retrofitted GT3 street vario gears. My car actually has 50 degrees of variable timing as opposed to 40 degrees in a regular 997 turbo .... i do not have variable lift tho
