Beautiful - Charley this deserves its own roped section at MCACN. Mark Goodluck on the 17th - can't wait to hear it at WOT

Impressive number considering the level of components under the skin of this car.

Did you weight the metal vs carbon body panels?

The cowl vents are blocked off. Do you have a fresh air inlet for the cockpit or you are just running a recirculating A/C system ?

Congrats. Car looks gorgeous and the engine bay super sanitary.

I have found the Vintage Air works the best if you totally seal the car. All of the kick panel vents leak. I cap them off.

Actually it makes 702 HP and 675 TQ with bypass open - and 600+ #/ft from 2300-6100 RPM. Can always reduce throttle opening to drop power a little more.....

Dropping power is always easier than finding more!

I cannot imagine how this car will feel with 950ft tq but I would love find out. Pulling out of a corner on the track would be incredible, if you can get it hook up.

Another work of art Mark!!! Great looking car. Can't wait to see/hear how it does at SEMA and the OUSCI!!!!!

Best of luck!!!

Question for you, Mark - are the headers on Hellfire uncoated, and if so, is there any reason you chose not to ceramic coat them?

It seemed that you spent a lot of effort to keep oil and intake temp low. Wouldn't coating the headers help keep temp lower as well?

this thread needs a table on contents.

Another thought, You should have enough pictures and content for a nice fat build book.
