Default 2 more g-thech runs, starting to get the feel of this thing a bit

.. stupid me I had just filled up when I got the idea to try a few runs before it rained this afternoon, first run 284 then it started to drizzle a bit and 2nd run was 247, roof down, passenger window up and my window down - don't ask it's a wife thing. I also swapped my MSD 6000 pill for a 6400 pill, didn't take it up to the rev limiter but at least I know this engine has a lot more in it. Thank god for all of the back country paved roads up here with little traffic. I am actually going to go to the town's police force to see if I can setup a 1/4 day with them involved and maybe borrow a few more g-techs from some of the local Toronto boys and invite them as well. :cheers:

That is a great idea! I think to do that though we would have to make ourseleves a club, as I'm almost postive we would need insurance to do that, in the range of $5,000,000. Not sure though, I hope I'm wrong, again :lolg:

284 would put you over 300RWHP on a chassis dyno I am sure, not too shabby for a small block :D

I am going to run the Explorer and the Probe just to see how these 2 do, esp. the Probe before I sell it.

:iagree: gdh's car should get well over 300 with that setup, probably closer to 350.

Motorhead-did you ever get a better number out of yours? I know you were having trouble getting what seemed to be an accurate reading.
