Anyone going over 200 mph???

[rocketman]

Nitrorocket,

I have 4l80e in my 37 ford with a 710 bbc.And it live's.I've made acouple 9's passes with and and have had it to 165 mph,(playin with a zo6)with no problem.plus I tend to punish the hell out of it.

Your TT ls1 doesn't doesn't make anymore hp than my 710 (1050hp),without nos,so if you have a 4l80e in there I wouldn't change it yet,I don't think a GV overdrive is that strong.

Jack explained to me that the car would be a plane without it.

I'm surprised they haven't pushed the tire out closer to the fender opening. Maybe they just haven't mounted the actual running gear yet.

That big sail at the trailing edge of the front fender looks like it might be a problem.

That thing still makes me tingle where I pee.

I believe the big sail thing is the "wicker" he keeps on talking about, and apparantely is a big deal not a problem

yep that is one of the wickers.

Also that is the location of the wheels.

I will also try to get some pictures of the Viper that Dave was working on for the Salt Flats with similar Wickers on the fenders and rear of the car. There goal was to go over 200mph but they blew up the engine on the Dyno the wick before.

PS - they put over 500lbs of lead weight in the front of the viper just to make sure it stayed on the ground.

Actually, the wicker is on the leading edge of the fender opening. I was talking about the surface at the trailing edge, essentially the inside of the wheelhouse that looks like it is presented to the airflow. Might just be the angle of the photo.

Jack Trepanier, right?
If so, damn, they've made a ton of changes to that car.

I was talking about the addition of the the nose and what appears to be sectioning of the fenders toward the leading edge of the hood.

Bill, I think he was replying to my ponderings regarding the front wheel well opening.




That thing is so bitchin!

I'm sitting here wondering what I could stuff an Eco-tec into.
