    Yup. Whipple is not that great. Especially non intercooled.

    Sounds like a lot of money to go 205mph, but I guess the car is meant to stroke someone's ego than go fast, still that's hauling ass!!
    200mph is moving! It takes a lot to get there.
    Out at the Texas mile, most n2o and FI vettes are under 190mph.
    But that's only a one mile run.
    The 1,000hp vette we did went 249mph I believe, now that sob is strong.
    It took about 300hp more to go from 210 to 230mph.
    We'll be heading out to the mile again this August if anyone of you want to watch, the kit has been upgraded and the car is probably closer to 1500hp.

    Sure, I'll post up when I'm heading out, he'll be in a few weeks for some more dyno tuning.
    There are also a few GTO's heading out there as well, should be fun.
