The turbos are 82-85 mid-frames pumping all the air possible to a fully built John Mihovetz Accufab engine. The large aluminum tank on the drivers side is an ice reservoir use to circulate ice water to and from the intercooler. The car has always been set up to run on stock springs and shocks along with the factory transmission. The plan is to fire this thing up on Thursday and get to the dyno to make sure all the special little modifications we have done produced the power we expected. Thanks to everyone for the positive words and will keep all posted.

If my car gets back from GT Guys in time, going to be close, I'll be there in my blue w/white.
Keep the black side up. Are you going to break the 267 from March?

That is one heck of a lot of angry goodness. Absolutely awesome...
BTW, Scott's Ohlins package has mile set ups in mind. But I bet you are far looking for anything new at this 11th hour of prep.
Best of luck this time!!!

Not sure what the car will run but no doubt we are looking to top our 267mph run back in March. I have no doubt the car would have went much faster in March if we would have decided to make another pass but the horrific accident by the KP Racing team sort of put things into perspective and we decided to call it a day. I have a number in mind of what has been my ultimate goal and what it takes to actually run those type of numbers so time will tell but looking forward to another Texas Mile and hopefully some cooler temps...

Here is a pic of the top of the new gas tank that was fabricated for the car to work with the larger mechanical fuel pump. Sort of hard to get pictures of it but this shows everyone a little bit of what we have been working on.

Mark,
Did you run any on Sunday this past March with the tail wind and cooler temperature? I attempted that morning early, but had a little problem, so we loaded up and headed home early.
Do you know if the KP Racing team will be there in Oct?

We did not make any runs after the crash. We decided to load it on the trailer and call it a weekend. As far as KP goes, I know they are bringing a GT500 with a customer but as far a building another Camaro I don't believe that has taken place. They have been working on the Bise corvette but don't think its ready as of yet.

Awesome.
Those Gallardos keep getting faster so it is good to see a GT push the limits and stay on top.

Here is a partial pic of the new wrap design on the Texas Mile GT... Will keep posting updates as it gets closer.
