Some pictures of my mafia car. 56k you'll have to wait






From tonight.



Engine is not running any more than 80%... is the car electronically goverened? My new cam will hopefull ybring this number up!

More here, beware, the pictures are large. Internet Explorer should shrink them after they load if you have it setup that way.

I still need a couple "mug shoots" to show the ride height. 13.5 in the front. Oh yea, you can see the rest of the car on the link. Any pictures of the front are very large. I cannot figure out how to resize them using code on this site.

Thanks for looking.

Well, I believe the car is governed at 135MPH but that is kind of weird since I remember once I took my old 300E to 141MPH on the freeway once late at night.

There is a 5% margin of error in properly calibrated speedos yes? With different tire sidewall size and rim size, it could be quite larger.
Assuming it is 5% margin of error for this speedo, 135/141= .95744
Take that, x100, 100-answer and you get=4.25%, or safely within the margin of error

Yea I have not had ANY caffine in about a year, and I had some chocolate and two cokeacolas. I was wired and am not feeling great even after sleeping a little. Oh I typed a 6 page argument in record time, though

I am having a custom grind. I have a second cam so I could replicate it for anyone. When I get mine and install it I will post a thread about it.

It seemed goverened because it pulled right up to that speed, then I even went down hill and did not increase.

With all new suspension and tires this car is solid. I was driving with one finger

The 300E's were not governed and top out around 140-142, and in 94 they said that due to a change to H rated tires, they set a governer at around 138
