That is just awesome. Anyone have his combo? Is he running the 200r4 or a 400? I looked at the car at the midwest challenge, very nice. Made me want to tear out my A/C!

Congrats Dave, that thing is flying!

-Precision plenum
-RJC A.D. power plate for the precision plenum
-70MM T.B.
-PTE FM IC
-PT70 GTQ
-TH-400 w/ trans brake
-83lb injectors
-Weldon 2015 fuel pump
-FAST system with Racepak datalogger thingymajig that has EGT probes for each individual cylinder

Joe, please chime in on his combo if I'm wrong about anything!

Joe, by any chance would you know what kind of octane Dave is running in that car?? Seems like some folks think it may be a little more than C16 (117 octane)..... Could it possibly be C23 (119 octane)??

Please let us know

As far as I know it has always been C16.

BTW I just posted thread about Daves win at Reynolds.

Cool thanks for letting me know...... My other guess if it wasn't C23 and it wasn't C16 was going to be VP AIR RACE (the other blue fuel) cause that is said to be the highest rated octane that VP sells (think it is like 120 octane or so).....

I thought I read somewhere that the RJC plate is restrictive?


Dave that car is amazing, let alone your guys tuning abilities.


Good job, line up that TA block.
