While I have the motor out I may make some changes.
Bump it up to the 65 wheel? Why did you pull the motor?

Two reasons: One is because Rob at RPS offered to inspect and freshen up the clutch as it is a prototype and we are pushing it to high RPMs. And secondly I need to fabricate some heat shields and apply some heat insulation around the turbos because my crazy partner wants to run it in the standing mile..... and things get hot when you are on it for 25-30 seconds straight!

Do you all have someplace up there to run the mile or would you be coming down to Texas?

We're looking into places up here. There are a few options just gotta work out the logistics of it.

That is nuts indeed. Yall are really trying to push the VQ.

I would do the standing mile, just have to tell myself that the car will be stable in that kind of MPH.
