Page 98. I guess the trip to the Dearborn test track can now be discussed. Joe's car upped the track record from 150 to 176.

I wish we could have got some video of it but no cameras inside of Ford's testing area.

What is Joe's hp level now? Are you approaching 1500 as planned?

They were over 1450 with the GTR-35 turbo's and Nitrous...

Since then - new turbo's!

1,500 will be in the past....

mega H.P.

What's been done "mods-wise" to get all this additional H.P. "to the ground"???????? Does Hoosier make tires outta super glue now?:shrug

Seriously. How the heck does a person go about hooking all this up?

Along that line, what clutch setup is being used? It would seem logical to believe the "stocker" wasn't built to take anywhere NEAR that huge power increase!:eek

On a previous post the red GT tt gained over 400 hp between 4000 and 4800 rpm. As you said, how do you control all of that power?

One of the advantages of a SC is that the torque is fairly constant, so you kinda know what you have to deal with. But with the turbo, the power doesn't come in until 4k and then hold on.

i am using special rimms right now 19 LBS each aluminum single piece and i have a setup that is more grippy than the hoosiers.. it is a setup developed for LEMANS... needless to say it is not DOT...

it is equivalent toi 355 width in the back and 18 INCH...

i will hopefully try it next week just dont have the time....

SCT BA2800 for the 1000hp setup on Torries at least.

We both used the same setup. And we found out where the absolute end of the road was as well.
