Here is a short vid of a warm-up lap at Pueblo my friends shot of my car.

Starts out fresh off the trailer before I put the wing and splitter on. Then I run it up to 7K in the back stretch but I am not really on it yet. This was part of the 2nd lap of a 3 lap warmup, and the front stretch you hear me shift to 4th at about 125mph then hold it there to let the Stang by.

For reference to power, my buddy's turbo'd 16V stoker Volvo hit right at 100mph using the whole 1/4-mile straight whereas I putted through T10 and just ran it up to 5500rpm (~125mph) and shifted to fourth before I saw the Stang and let him by at about 1/2-way down the straight.

and then me coming in - car was idling at 2000rpm there because I had it adjusted up trying to keep it running on warmup. Still sounds good IMO but much better at 1300rpm with the big cam lope...

Didn't get any good vid of me really on it as after checking the lugs and so forth, I headed out and the Crane ignition died on the 2nd lap

Warning - two spots have very loud external noise, one at the beginning when I drag my jack back to the car and another when I am on the back straight, turn the sound down a little as a truck passes right in front of them with a trailer that rattles very loud

My wife said, "That's a $50,000 914??? I'd buy a Cayman!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)


I have a tube frame V8 914 too, she just has no idea how much money I have in it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
