Good Luck
Very cool build. Has the owner ever driven 200mph? Let alone higher then that? It is not something you just go do. Stuff happens very quickly when things go wrong at those speeds. Tires are a question not only traction wise, but able to hold together. You start talking 200+mph and tire manufactures hanging up on you. Look at the cars in my sig and ask how I know. I HAVE blowen a tire at 204 IT SUCKS. Then how much aero mods are you going to do? With out any 190+ is real exciting. Then where are you going to make an assult on a "world record"?
Don't get me wrong I am not saying don't do this or that I don't think you can. It is one thing to say "I want to drive REALLY fast" and another to do it. It has cost me more money then I want to admit to run 200+ on a regular basis.

I have driven many 7 sec cars at 200mph. I will be the one to drive the car at first to get it lined out. Then the customer will take over. One thing that is good about boost is that we can turn this thing way down to get him used to it. He has already driven this vette in the 9's so he has an idea of what he is getting into. Once he feels comfortable we will start turning it up!
Here is a quick vid of our stock suspension camaro. You can hear I lifted at the 1000ft marker. Thats why the mph is so low. Car has the same motor we are installing in the vette.
Just has a 106mm turbo instead of twin 78's.

You guys should think about Open Road Racing.

Then could go fast for a distance. If you are drag racing you are looking to be the quickest, not fastest(just my opinion, fastest is highest mph, not quickest time). With this car you could do both.
