175mph with 400hp took about 45 seconds in the mile and a half.

I got a couple test passes in the mile last weekend. 212mph took 25sec if I remember correctly.

Have you picked out a tire to run yet? Hoosier A7s maybe?

Trying the R7 for now.. A7 was not available in the rear size I needed.
295/40R18 and 255/35R18 on CCW wheels. Tucked in a bit to keep them out of the air as much as possible.

Dewitts cut down radiator with SPAL fans. ECS upper brackets, with the lower cradle cut and welded...



Chiseled Performance water tank in the rear. I thru bolted it to brackets welded to the frame rails.. I didn't want it to hit me in the back of the head in case of an accident!





Test fitting the intercooler..

Intercooler piping.. Clocked the F1x to exit towards the center of the steering rack.. I will end up re-doing the throttle body pipe, it ended up with too long of a coupler. Maybe switch to a Vanjen clamp?..



Dual Tial 50mm bypass valves.. I do have parts for an air filter to snake next to the intercooler. . I have a dirt driveway, so some sort of filter would be nice just to get it on and off the trailer...

Nice build, Looking forward to the results.

I got a couple test passes in the mile last weekend. 212mph took 25sec if I remember correctly.

This sounds like a mile run, Not a 1.5 mile run.

That is correct, I had parachute issues, so I was limited to the mile only.
