Default A big ole Thank You -164.67MPH

I haven't had to do this in quite a while, matter fact, it's been years... since the Pumpkin had any real upgrades. As many know, we freshened up the motor with Bob at RPE this past winter with a new set of Champion Racing aluminum heads, well we finally got it out this summer at LVD for a few shakedown runs.. all indications were we had a HotRod on our hands. Made a few runs resulting in promising performance, running easy 8.90's with the new upgraded 88 billet wheel PTE turbo. With the new larger turbo we were able to run similar numbers at lower boost compared to our old Turbonetics 80 turbo.

To sum this up, this past weekend we ran almost 10mph more than our previous best!!!! of somewhere around 156mph. We did turn the boost up to somewhere between 32-34lbs and the RPE bullit responded like a champ. With a soft 18lbs of boost the first 3 seconds, we ran 129mph in the 1\8th and 164.67 in the 1\4!!!

A big thank you to Bobby at RPE and also to Harry Hruska from Precision Turbo for supplying a killer turbo. Also, I'd like to thank Tom Allen for a killer set of Champion "R" Racing heads.

Last but not least ......the drum roll.......... MY wife for all her support with our car and for pushing me to "get er done".... And lastly my son Brian... the kid turned into a man who has made me a proud father of a talented young guy who has single handedly built this car and now has driven it to a new performance level...

To all, A BIG OLE THANK YOU!!!
