Sorry for the shaky hands. It's been a long time since we've seen a 9 sec pass in our GT500. It started back in early 2010 when we chased an issue that ended up being a missing keeper on one of the valves. It took us almost a year and a half before we found the issue. During that time we also made the conversion to E85 and the entire calibration on the car was changed. Between that and the fact that we've had two other builds since then this car took the back burner.

 

We're glad to say that it's finally back in action. Our goal is to take down TheBull who currently holds the 6 speed shelby record with a 9.49@151mph. Our crew is dedicated to making that happen.

 

For those that aren't familiar with this car it's got a build aluminum block, heads, cams at the stock bore/stock compression. It's powered by a 4.0L Whipple Super Crusher setup. We run a Mcleod RXT twin disc clutch, DSS aluminum driveshaft and BMR K-member/A-Arms.The exhaust consists of American Racing longtube headers and a Magnaflow 3" competition catback. The fuel system is our triple walbro setup. All of the work is performed by Power by the Hour in Boynton Beach. The tuning is done as a combined effort between Jon Lund and Ken Bjonnes. Most important is the man that takes this beast down the track. Jeremy Martorella from UPR Products is not only our driver but also set the suspension up with all of the goodies from UPR.

 

We'll be making a few adjustments to the car today and will take another crack at it tomorrow night.

 

Thanks to all of our fans and vendor for all of their support.

Good pass, but I am a bit confused here-

 

Leathal performance deontes everything as "we did" and "our car" but someone else did the work, the suspension install and set up, and someone else drives.

 

 

So, what does Leathal Performance actually do? Is this a shop car or some guy with a wallet who think's he is just leathal.
