Are you going to add weight? What does the car weigh now?

When Jody built the Alumin8r with the ProCharged Arias 540, it would lose traction at 120mph. It would show up in the datalog as erratic rpm. With the wind load and your coefficient of drag up around 5 on that brick of a car, that should be a huge concern.

Charley has a street rod (or at least used to) that was a land speed car which had a lot of weight added. IIRC, there was an extra 800lbs or more added.
