: Dusty, please forward this to the MKIV list for me, as I think you and I
: both owe some explanation to the world for this milestone... As usual, I
: will make my one reply to all of the misinformation... ha
: JH
: Hi Guys, thanks for all of the emails and calls regarding this week's record
: setting runs.... This has been a joint project between PHR and MVP for
: some time, and kept well under wraps until now it seems. Just to clear
: things up, PHR sold the silver race car (the silver bullet) recently so
: that we can concentrate on customer projects instead of our own racing
: program.. no time to do both these days. And anyway, this new car would
: make the silver bullet look like a slow pig with time to spare. However,
: we did learn alot from the silver bullet, much of which is incorporated
: into this next generation car. We even tried the same turbo system on this
: car, but it was too ridiculous to even be labeled a "street" car with the
: turbo sticking out of the hood. :-) Our runs this week were just the
: beginning, the car ran in the 8's with ease, on the fifth pass ever made,
: and on the low boost setting to top that off. We expect some lower slips
: to follow shortly once we all clean out our underwear. I believe we
: secured the lowest ET, highest MPH, lowest 1/8 ET, highest 1/8 MPH, and
: lowest 60' records for a stock body/chassis, full interior, **no NOS**, heavy
: ass Supra this week.. so that's now first in the 9's and first in the
: 8's.. Not to mention we now have the "most powerful 2JZ engine on the
: planet" record fully secured again after last week's dyno session. My dyno
: is due a vacation after the flogging we dished out for three days
: straight. We are still picking up pieces of rubber 300 yards away from the
: dyno bay (sorry Jim, your car managed to stop some of the lower flying
: chunks). Now I can truly say that a Dynojet Dyno *will* read above 1200
: RWHP for a short period of time. To see this record breaking dyno just
: go to [ http://www.mvpmotorsports.com ] . We are scrambling to post a video
: of the runs as well. Look for some more interesting things to come from
: both MVP and Powerhouse in the near future. At this level, I dont know of
: many or any true "street" cars with a full interior and glass that run
: squarely in the 8's, although the car is registered, inspected, and
: "could" be driven on the street legally with the addition of a muffler.
: Ha ha. Perhaps we are pushing the definition of "street", but hey 8's
: is pushing it anyhow for a full independent suspension car so why not.
: BTW, methanol in any form is not unlawful for street driven vehicles,
: in fact the future of automotive engineering is going toward alternative
: fuels. Does anyone stop to think what gasohol is in the major cities?
: Yes, its a gasoline and methanol mixture that much of the US currently
: uses. Go figure. Dusty and I are already planning a nitro burning 2JZ
: street car that will run 6.50's.... just kidding, I think 8's is about
: fast enough for a street car. But, we were considering running in
: reverse so that we can compete for that $25,000 purse in June for the
: FWD class. So, again everyone thanks for your emails and calls today...
: stay tuned. Also take a look at the next Turbo magazine issue due out
: soon, more details will follow. Can't wait for Vegas this year!
: And now to Paul (someone always has to be a whiner), as one of my employees
: told you twice today when you called to poke for information, the car runs
: on a MIXTURE of methanol.. something about 12 injectors and dual fuel
: systems makes this car really unique from an engineering perspective. Try
: tuning that Motec.. BTW, we do not run NOS and we are still on the same
: engine as when we started 98 dyno pulls and one torturous track day
: ago.... better get busy rebuilding my friend if you plan to knock on our
: back door. :-) Jeff has that crank for you and I have **another** set of
: pistons if you need them... NOS does a great job of burning up engines,
: not to mention it also makes much more power and lowers your intake
: temperature MUCH more than methanol. Hope you got your converter issues
: resolved with your powerglide also, if you need any help please let me
: know as we now have 1.35 sixty foot times on low boost. Have fun in
: the nine's, we got tired of that three years ago... :-)
