Going to be some crazy cars out there this year! 2000 hp mark is upon us..
Just did another two hours of road tuning with Jerry@EC.. The first pull was so hard, the A/F meter flew out of Jerry`s hands.. Ambient is 85 deg here.
The goal of the road tune was to work on average HP across the gears.. Keeping average power up ,wins the race VS peak hp in one gear on the dyno..Also worked to control TQ mgt and manage power under high IAT`s..
The Challenge with the mile, is pushing through the the WALL. That is the 150 mph wall.. Need to be geared right and keep max power up during that hit..

soulsearcher ran in the 175-185mph rang yesterday, A Black SL was running 172. The head wind was howling yesterday also. Hopefully the wind is not as bad today and we some good mph. Fastest mph yesterday was 241 in a LP560. SW went 238 letting off early in his supra also.
