Sounds real good!!!
Well here is the final results! This is a comparison for Gen 3 vs Gen 5. The Gen 5 is the real deal and we had more in it!

WOW! I'll even say that backwards...WOW!! Look forward to seeing it make passes. Good to see you back Terry.
That is Awesome, Congratulations.
Making some poop
8500 RPM? 24# boost?DAG! I thought I recently felt the earth shift off axis and change the coriolis effect when I flush my toilet.
Damn, that's fantastic!
Lmao!! Funny Shit! (No pun intended)Quote:

I heard a rumor that test flights will be happening at E20 this Friday night! looking forward to catching some action.
We made a couple of hits w street setup and with new coilovers. Spin city is all I can say! Really didn’t have time to adjust suspension.... but here are some videos... this is first time we have let it rip on two step... 3500rpm

Man when you get that thing to hook, its gonna be a rocket!
So Terry what was the ET on that last pass? I could not make out the time. Congrats on sub 10 pass #2. I am hoping #3 was even faster.
Not worth talking about yet....until the record falls
What is the record?
Will you be at Jason's Race this Friday night?
Car looks great!
9.47@148 is current record.Quote:

Tommy, Thanks for the vote of confidence! It was a CrAzY year and a lot of changes. Went over a second faster than last year and gained 8mph over the 156. We are already making plans for this next year and a couple of big changes to get RoadCone even faster....Quote:

I have never owned a turbo car…. But I soon will!! I’m switching to twin Precision Turbos, 72/75 with billet wheels and ceramic bearings and T4 flanges. In preparation for this we have actually downsized a few cubic inches for thicker sleeves. We are going with TBX Extreme Race Turbo cams, RPG secondary chains. Almost forgot the billet Frankenstein intake!! The transmission is being upgraded with internal and external dump valves. The new torque converter will be a Protoque bolt-together. That’s just some highlights of the build. This is all in hopes to build 1800-2000 hp!! Looking to improve to at least a mid-7 second car. Wish I could post picture, but soon on RoadCone Racing I will. This is the first group that I have disclosed any plans too.
You know the drill..... :postpix:

I'm tuned in for this. Sounds like it's going to be nasty! Definitely got some purdy looking parts there lol.

Nice stuff Terry. The intake looks to have been 3D printed given the lines in it. Possibly? We have been printing (technical term is growing not printing) parts at work on a 3D metal printer for some time now.
BTW If you're feeling kind and the Whipple kit is free to a good home, I am willing to give it one. LOL!
Thanks, a lot of kool updates coming!Quote:
