This is crazy awesome. Way to go!

The highest I have seen in person was the M600 MINI drag car and I was told 600 HP and they were going towards 700hp or it was supposed to be. Dont know whatever happened to it.

This was back in 2006 I saw it.

the drag car NEVER made a pass with 600hp, it blew up constantly. All those 10sec passes where on about 400whp

That was a drag car. This is 100% just a street car, on top of that.

Sure it is "just a street car" . . . .

George Strait has some "ocean front" property in Arizona if you believe that.

Its is just a little more than a normal street car . . . .

Still waiting for you to go on a national tour so us east coasters can see the "just a street car" up close as no video will ever do it full justice.

Started working on my Transmission before I went back to work. Going to see if I can't get some parts made for this thing. Think I found Syncros for it. So thats a plus.

I think one of the reasons this trans is so strong is because of the double layshaft design. Helps keep the gears from spreading apart from each other. A straight cut gear set wouldnt have the problem, but ours like every other factory gear set isn't straight cut.

Jan has the engine for the refresh and piston change for more compression. Along with his v2 solid rocker setup.

When I get that back I'll put the 9174 on it, and get it caged.

The Bomber will live again! WooT! Happy holidays to you and your family buddy hope all is well and your daughter is doing better. I have went a little over the top since you left FB. I am buying a Link or Ecu Master this week to 'complete' the build.

So it’s a street car that has more power than most anything else out there. Have you had any confrontations with the normal hot cars on the roads? My limited build has been a lot of fun surprising most of the Porsche BMW crowd but yours is a whole different beast.

Just curious.....but what kind of money do you think you have spent on the entire "getting to 642hp" process? I would guess that you could have probably went out and bought a new Mustang GT with the money you have spent.

I'd guess at least 3-4X that, not counting any labor.

You have to pay to play, esp in this neighborhood.
