She is Alive!!
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!
This thing is going to fly with the Gen 5.
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!
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....
Stay Tuned
It’s been a long time for an update to this thread, but it’s time. The Whipple took me to 7.9’s @180mph. I know it had more, but had an opportunity to do something completely different with RoadCone.
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:

Much needed weight reduction!!
Pics FTW!!! :cool1:
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!
The intake is made by Frankenstein. It is CNC’d from a block of aluminum. Unfortunately the Whipple is already gone to a new home. They took exhaust, cams and few other things from my build.
Some more pics of goodies!
