What a crew! 3 of my vehicles put together don't have as much HP as some of those cars, and 1 of mine already has over 400! Must be nice, eh :D

I highly doubt the Viper will win this one.... and if they have to make 2 or 3 passes to determine the winner then I know the Viper won't win. :)

should be a good race. both cars will be difficult to launch and hook up and should be capable of similar times. Paul D I think is in the low 10s. Norm should be too. the henessy runs low 10s. great race. let the twin turbos spool!!! :p:

Have you guys read what's going down in C5 tech about Hennesey? I'm suprised to see that isn't laying very low right now.

Ron, The FAST unit will help these twin turbo car's out quite a bit. IE; lean up for real quick spool then richen the mixture as pressure build's for a safety margin. Wideband to run super high octane leaded fuel. So moderate to high boost won't bring on the dreaded detonation syndrome. But then Lot's of trouble with traction and half shaft's flying.

hey frank, doesn't the leaded gas kill the wide band sensors????

they are much more expensive than the narrow band. I change the 02s on my buick all the time as the lead fouls them and makes them screw up.

the FAST is a good unit and I have been considering building a car to take advantage of this box for a while now. good to hear from you.

Take's ALOT of leaded gas to kill the FAST wideband 02 sensor. And yes the wideband's are expensive. The tuning ability of the FAST unit's are fantastic. It allow's much more tunability and a wider margin of safety. Give Precision or Jack a call to find out. Precision give's you the complete harness (no butchering of your harness) and a real good start-up program.
