Default How fast will it go?
This weekend George Suennnen is going to take a crack at 202 mph plus at the Silver State Classic Challenge just outside Ely Nevada.
Pic of the car on the dyno with "Sir" Bill Ball on the computer, dialing it in.

Weather looks good ( low 70's and sunny skies)
Wish us luck!

Thanks all, hope everything goes well on Sunday. Van and I will be leaving Thursday morning. I'll be towing the car up this time (a first for me), and will spend some time on the road Friday tuning and showing the new navigator the route.

Here's a photo of the pressure relief valve after letting up too suddenly with 15-16 psi of boost:



And a shot of the "crew" at the dyno:



I'll post some more photos as the adventure unfolds.
