WOW car looks great! ... how about those dyno sheets? What where the final dyno numbers anyway? I'll bet is was off the chart sick?

[94svtcobra]

this car is unreal

[billyNOTnice]

I only have the graph that I posted.
What's with asking me 3 times? It really doesn't matter does it?

I'd like to see it if you had it. That mph graph is strange. but it looks like you got power left on the table still from that chart.

Good luck Ryan.
Your car is deserving and I spoke with one of the 5.0 guys in Columbus who said he wants a high quality Fox like mine when I get it done, so maybe next year :)
Anyway, have you made any drag passes with that thing?
Your car is a bad dude, but please at least try it at the track before KOTS.
I'm sick of seeing these huge HP machines not be able to get down the track at KOTS.

No drag passes yet on this combo.
As a matter of fact, I have yet to run drag radials on this thing.
I'd love to get some test passes in, but if not, I'll launch around 3500-4000 rpms and try to ride the clutch out. :)

You'll never find close to the potential w/o DRs. I doubt it would be too much fun until 4th w/o them even on the street. I won't drive a car at your power level w/o DRs but thats my preference from experience.
I really hope you get a few passes before---at your power level untested you risk looking like many of the other previous KOTS dyno queens.

Steve Saleen was at Mustang Week promoting his new business venture of SMS Supercars.
Ray Lee talked Steve into coming by to check out my car.

I was a little "star struck" shaking hands with the man of whom's cars I have loved for years. Not to mention he's a pretty good race car driver too. :)

The deal was sealed when I got him to autograph my dash.
He told me that he was impressed with the packaging of the entire turbo kit and told me the whole car was impressive.
This made my day! Talk about getting a huge pat on the back when it comes from The Man himself! :D

Eventhough it was raining, I really appreciated Steve coming by to talk to me and view my pride and joy.
It was an honor.

check out the umbrella holder guy that Steve Saleen has with him, thats way to funny...

Overall I had a blast.
Car spun the tires on the rollers...twice and I only got a reading of 772 rwhp.
The day we left to go to this event, we actually got up to 1150 rwhp (SAE) and 1170 rwhp (STD) with 28 pounds of boost.
I left it at this setting (I was greedy) and should have turned it down for that smaller dyno.

The drive-ability test went perfect. Car did everything right. Hope I got great marks on this......

The dragstrip was up and down.
1st pass I spun bad in 1st and 2nd and got a 1.91 60 foot time.
Missed 4th gear (I think my blocker rings wouldn't allow the shift at high rpms) and coasted to an 11.34 @ 126 mph.
2nd pass I had a 1.98 60 foot time, but it was pulling hard mid-track....when my driveshaft broke at the top of 3rd gear.
I immediately pulled out of the groove and was hard on the brakes.....to the time of 11.80 @ 90 mph.

Since I didn't kill the dyno or the track, I suppose I'll end up about mid-pack. Oh well.
I had a great time and met some cool people.

Here's some pics -

No matter what happened at least you had a good time. Car looks great!

[biminiLX]

WOW, broken DS and trans case! Glad you and the car are OK.
Great dyno numbers too, thats crazy power.
I hope you did well, did they tell you what issue?
Later, J
