Like Glen Said, it's got some top end work from the vette doctors including Jeal cams, then Watson's, 4:09's, Dewitts Radiator, RW thrermostat, I did coilovers from Rippie, Samco hoses, triple take, coolant to plenum delete mod that I did...I guess about everything you can do to a stock displacement car. It puts down 410hp. On safety stuff it has a rollbar and turquoise harnesses from M&R that are very .

Wow, that is a great speed! Was it downhill with a tail wind? JK
At the Las Vegas Mile Shootout (hot temps)
similarly modded Z's were doing about 166.
My car with similar mods except stock cams did ~163mph.

The bad news is that at speeds over 168 you would fall into the next
bracket and need more safety equipment.


Some rush, huh?

Congrats again,
Ted

Ted, let's take a trip next year for the Texas mile. Your car is being crippled by the elevation in Vegas.

It's the air here in TX - better dyno numbers too ...

Ah, that makes sense. Lets just go to Death Valley and do 180!
And Texas? Go to Texas? I heard they're only two things in Texas:
Steers and ........ And I ain't no Steer. Or..........
Too much time on my hands.......
