Whipple Supercharged Ford GTX1 on the Dyno

This guy Rick that owns the car is a cool cat. He's got a Tungsten GT also, which is being finished out here as a GTX1 now that Genaddi exploded. I'm pretty sure he's getting that one twin turbo'd. We're both doing this thing in Utah next month and he's taking the blue car. I am going to hand him his ass at Miller Motorsports Park :icon_mrgr

The GTX1 is really a phenomenal car to drive, despite being a chop job. I drove one extensively in California and it was like a regular GT, just without a roof. Quite the fun.

If I owned a Ford GT, I don't think I could let someone chop the top off....

They're safe at that level on pump gas.

The white car never blew up. They tried a new coating on the pistons and it didn't adhere correctly, making the clearances incorrect. The only way to learn new things is to try them with R&D. Obviously that didn't work.

Diamond and Mahle are both good pistons. Roxanne's 2V car goes consistent 9.30's and never has issues.
