Is this on the Dyno or in the seat, on the road?

BTW...your "Caps Lock" button is on...or were you going 140+ when you typed it?

Be careful if on road as things come up mighty quick at speed. Just last night, doing only 75 on the interstate, some @#$%&* moving a couch had lost a pillow, stopped and ran out in front of me!! Used all 4 of the discs and managed somehow to miss him. I'm thinking at 90 he'd have joined the rest of the insects stuck on my windshield!

Paul: At 140 mph, he would be covering 210 feet per second. If you blink, the football field passes you by.

RF: The coil covers can be found here: http://www.karkraft.com/performance_parts.htm

HAVE TO USE CAPS TO SEE IT .REAL SEAT TIME FOR THE BIG NUMBERS (I LIKE THEM) TALKING WITH LOGAN NOW ABOUT 150MPH . CAN BE DONE WITH AIR CLEANER , X PIPE , AND NOSE DOWN 4-5 INCHES . ONLY NEED 300 RPM,s FOR THE GOAL .

Did you use GPS to verify your speed or was the verification done by the speedo? At high speed, the speedo is generally not accurate.

Be nice...

besides, it deserves a gold star.

At high speeds, the bumper and grill start to fold inwards from the air speed. Looks like had a Sweet Tart. Just trying to pass info on about high speed vehicle dynamics, not to collect stars.
