We were on a check out pass and ol feather foot was light on the pedal, 60% throttle through mile 4. Pitched a rod on the back up run. Plan to be back on the salt this year and shooting for 400. Doing it with compressed natural gas for fuel. 572 ci BBF, twin turbos, Motec tuned by ShaneT.

Yeah, that's right, now I remember the CNG part of the story.I enjoy hearing your adventures with the fuel.  I bought a GMC Jimmy 350 V8 running on CNG from the fleet of the local natural gas company and drove it for years - gave me a link to your car.  Best wishes for the coming year.
