Short-Throw

I originally thought it would be nice to have the option of running the car on pump gas. Well from day one it was tuned with race fuel so that's how it stayed.

Over the Winter, Katech helped me decide how much compression I could bump up as race fuel was now a constant. Because of the Holinger, Katech recommended A GM Stage III Cam to help out in the higher RPM, where the car always is.

The car still needs a few more days of tuning but have a listen for yourself! This will give you the basic idea. Don't be shy with the volume!

I obviously haven't run the car on track yet, but I think it's going to be okay.

Any advice for this season's passengers?

Sounds smooth all the way up to whatever RPM you took it to on the Video Mike.

That transmission is just amazing. I would never get tired of hearing that sound.

I think I'll skip the breakfast burrito's for Track Attack '09. Can't wait to take a few laps in the right hand seat, Mike.

Just awesome...

F me....what a sound...I want that transmission!!!

Short-Throw

Yes. You have to launch this thing at a higher RPM. At start/finish race control always steps further away from me as the tail can sway a little on take off.

Here's a chart I posted a short while ago from Katech's engine dyno.




I will post a chassis dyno chart when the tune is complete. I believe I will have very little drive-train loss as everything is a solid connection.
The car was making close to 500 ft pounds of torque at 2500RPM. This thing is going to scream out of corners.
