Now for the truth
I brought the car to UGR only 6 weeks ago and he completed it already. The original plan was to make it into a "SAFE" race/street car. His fabricator could not do the cage/chute and fire system until the winter months.
So we decided to do a conservative pump gas tune so I could drive and enjoy it for a few months before it goes back for cage/chute and fire system over the winter.
I will not try and break any records without safety equipment. Life is too good.
So, for now I get to play with a mere 1100rwhp on pump and drag radials. I guess it will do for a while

Have you driven it yet? How does it compare to your old Yellow GTS with T-72s?

Congrats, should be allot of fun. Damn fabricators just don't work fast enough do they. But it probably worked out in your favor get to try the new power and get used to that before you ring out the rest of it. And you still got some nice weather to enjoy it in. Congrats again, enjoy. Ed.

The BIG POWER Vipers are no longer floor it and go straight cars anymore - it takes real skill to drive them - work up to full power gradually...and then set some new records!

It sure has. Somewhere I still have the vid of you at Columbus when you never lifted (even drifing over towards the wall).
