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.

Steers and ........ And I ain't no Steer. Or..........

Too much time on my hands.......

I should be up for a road trip next year. Fly down and drive over with Ted. Pick up some prostitutes on the way
