Hey  guys

I just picked Da Monstah up from Brendan this afternoon and I was  able to 
log numerous on da road pulls to feel what’s going on with this car.  This 
is the first time I’ve been able to drive the car since it had its dyno  tune 
for E-85. First of all since there was absolutely no head room at 28 lbs  
of boost, Brendan wisely backed things off down to 24 lbs until the larger  
injectors get installed this week. I was, of course, disappointed but cooler  
heads prevailed and the car is at only 24 lbs. I guess that’s close to 
600hp  at the wheels so I’m not too disappointed. I just shared with Tufty and  
Brendan about my concerns. The car has no feeling of tapering on the boost 
or  the power. 

Every car I’ve ever driven from twin turbo Porsches to  Vipers, all had 
some feeling of taper as you approach the top boundary. There  is none in this 
car. It’s kind of addicting. You just want to keep your foot  in the 
accelerator. I told them that we need to get the shift light installed  pronto. I 
was able, for now, to keep one eye on the tach but I don’t know if  I’m 
gonna be able to do that at the track. This car has just got to be felt to  
believed. The really amazing part of this has to do with our mile high  altitude 
and the fact that we’re doing all of this with minimal oxygen.  Someday I’
m gonna bring it back down to sea level just to feel what that’s all  about. 
That’s all for now so back to your regularly scheduled Sunday evening  
programming. 

Hap, wit dakine impressions not from Evahboost,  Maguire
