you know you're driving a fast car when you don't shift out of first until 100mph.

They ran the big motor the first day, clicked off a 434mph run and than hurt something, small fire. Put the small motor in and ran close to 400, repaired the big motor and had an exit speed over 450!
George has said that the motor has more in it and would like to see 470mph! World of Speed is in a few weeks and then the Cook Shootout a few days later. I have a feeling they're just getting warmed up.

It's fun following the progression of the car, the crew busts their ass 100% of the time and the flow of money never stops. Not sure if its a record or not but George has been over 400mph something like 40 times.

The big bullet is 388ci, the small is 299ci both set up with twin 88mm precision turbos. Haven't heard a total HP # other than the intercooler will support 3000hp.

This is the rear end setup that was new for this year, not sure what to call it...I know they didn't have driveline issues this year.
