John the challenge will not be on anything street legal. It was just announced and I'll talk to You more sunday when We have time. The only place I would want to do it is on the salt flats. If Predator does not then fine there are records to be set officially on the flats. that is where We need many type of members on the team. Someone to just do logistics and find out what records are avialable say in 4X4 diesel and gas. 1/4 mile,1/8 mle,0 to 60, 0 to 100. then top speed in a timed trap etc.etc. someone to handle those details while other members raise money and sponsors etc. and other that build. that is where i figured Anthony and My guy Drew would work well together, they both understand new tech, but, both are old school a good mix. My tuner Tim take care of all that. It is all he lives eats and breaths and i have started a program set for Myself where i plan on getting as good as he is in short order. But, Tim is hard to beat just like Anthony and Drew would be hard to beat in putting the engine and drive line together. i also have the best Vette man in Arkansas and has many from out of state that come to him. He would be a huge help on the tranny as Our 2 guys can handle the engine and forced induction. We for sure would want the tt setup for this. I do intend to use My baby to work an a few records with a supercharger also. my small underdtanding John is they brake the records down into a lot of small catagories so that there is something for everyone to compete in. so i'm thinking supercharger in 1/4,1/8, 0 to 60, 0 to 100 and top timed trap speed. I mentioned in plan to drive unless We find someone more suited to do it. it will be a job hard to take away from me but, i am a team player. I just do not feel that they should go unchallenged. What We are able to do is going to be based on finaces. We have the expertise with Anthony and Drew and Tim but the hard part will be finances and sponsors. There has to be a few good at that namely you John and some others. i think it is just something We need to seriuioly look at. i do know this My h2 will be so far out there in power i will run it anyway. But to compete with Predator and Fox they are saying a 6.6l turbo diesel by next salt flat season they expect to be 800 to 900 Hp and 1400 ft lbs. of torque. Well torque is good for the 0 to 60, 1/4 etc. which is what they sound like they are doing in trying to take on the vette which they have done that successfully and next is Ferrari 360. Those are good targets but, how about going farther and trying those numbers and doing the timed trap top speed at the flats. So We go prepared to do gear changes based on what We are timing for. We need someone to find all the records We can go for in a 4x4 class ride. I just get all bent out of shape when someone does something and no one steps up to take the challenge. You and I can discuss it more this sunday and then i need to fly out later in august and We really get serious about it. I know i'm going with what i got because i know what We have with horrible tuning and sponsor will take care of that. i know what i have without engine oil cooling and co2 sprayed on intercooler. I have not tuned or run with fuel line ice bucket or water/methanol injection. and just many other tweeks. I will not say where We plan to be because there are to many that do not understand the will of the mind even with limitations of the physical mechanical process. If you say it cannot be done because the block will not take it then you really never know because an engineer has convinced you in your mind it is not worth trying. But, that is why We have sophisticated diagnostic tools to push the envelope without damage and then maybe just a little more. it will take an effort of many to do this but, i know in My shop I have 6 believers because i told them what do We have to lose. they have seen the plan i have been implementing not just for shows but, to be as powerful as nice looking.
John I see a lowered H2 stripped as much as allowed and air dams to prevent lift from underside, which is right up My guys alley as well as the air dams which Tim races Autocross and works in those numbers all the time. Yeah We are a bunch of upstarts compared to Fox racing but, who says the big names have all the answers. True they could out spend anyone but, would it not be fun to try. so We will talk more and give you time to think between now and sunday night.
John and Ken i will get You to help Me with gear selection for the mall Queen. Ken i'm thinking the same as you are on the 1/4. I would bug Drew but We are trying to get 3 or 4 rigs ready for shows the next few weeks. I'm missing this one i wanted to go to so bad, a yellow h2 is supposed to be coming out of state and I was told i was the one to hold Him off but, no go this time. Our chroming equip. broke down so We will start on My girl after We spend the rest of this weekend focusing on the rigs We are taking to the show then back to the Mall Queen.
