    TT Boost settings on Hefner GT1000TT setup?

    Apologies in advance if this has been asked and answered--I simply couldn't find where. As I understand it, the Heffner GT1000TT setup runs about 850hp (crank) on 93 octane pump gas at one boost setting, then the boost can be dialed up to create approx. 1000hp on 103 octane (race?) gas. Does...

    Ohio Mile Coming in Spring 2012 (?)

    (sorry if I missed any previous posts on this--a basic search didn't turn anything (recent) up). Looks like us Midwest / East-coast folks may get a chance at running a standing mile without having to go all the way to Texas or California...

    Comprehensive list of mile-long strips?

    I've seen references to the Texas Mile, the Mojave Mile, and Lemoore. Is there a (comprehensive) list of the mile-long strips and/or events around the country? I'd especially like to find out about events that are a little easier for us Easterners to get to!

    Heffner vs. Hennessey Twin Turbo Information

    Preface: I really hope that I'm not opening a religious war with this question; that's not my intent! I've seen the thread on stage 1 upgrades and the consensus seems to be that when it comes to SC tuning, there are three "standards," and they seem to be somewhat equivalent with happy customers...

    WTB Ford GTX1

    I'm kicking myself for letting the recently listed yellow GTX1 slip through my fingers, and am on the hunt again. Hopefully, this isn't futile! So, in the rare event that you or someone you know might be looking for a new home for a GTX1, I'm in the market and would love to hear what you've...
