Saw it on Lat already VERY cool!!!

Bad: Not being able to see the 200mph on the chassis roll video.
Good: Driving the Mule to 180 in 5th to test the "tune". (Stielow said 6th would not hold, then it held!)
Better: Watching and hearing as the Mule hit the dyno's "speed limit" at 200.
Thanks Charley

WOW!!! Thats just crazy watching the headers glow red. All I can say is that must be one fantastic ride when you mash the skinny pedal!

That was about as interesting as watching the grass grow without being able to actually SEE what we were to be looking at.

Gotta love showing the manufacturers the limitations of their products; in this case a dyno that only measures to 200 mph.............

BTW, are the headers made from 321 or 304 ?

Yeah, I prefer the view in this one although it's JUST a 750 rwhp power pull.

Its nice to see what a talented well egineered project can do.Its amazing how smooth the power is..no vibration or shake (from what i see) Actually the combination looks like its just getting warmed up,and there's allot more there.. waiting..i know the power it has,but its just warming up! Great vid Jody!

B.T.W..What approximate horsepower is your outstanding new camaro going to show us soon?

Thanks for the great video

**Restomod** · 03-12-2005

Ok that makes 3 vids of it ...come on give us the rest!! The view in this last one is way better!!!!!!!!!

**TonyL** · 03-12-2005

HAR HAR HAR!

Very cool! Now, quit showing me those twin turbos because you are giving me evil ideas all over again. haha

The headers are all 321 parts, its the best to fight the "glow" over time.
When I ordered the dyno, I really thought "200" was going to be enough! When Charley said TT's on the Mule it was obvious I should have went for 250!

I was thinking 321...... as they did not light up very quickly as you pointed out. I was almost going to say Inconel, but for some reason, I left that choice out.

Now, the issue if you buy a 250, Charley will just have to build something to find new limits. On your end is it mearly a SW change, or is the more to the mechancial operation ?

**427** · 03-13-2005

Mechanical safety issues. There is no doubt Charley would take it as a challenge!
Charley is already making my life tougher. Friday's my family comes to the shop and picks me up for lunch. We had the Mule on the rolls when they arrived and I was driving to get the cal spot on for the "200" mph run. My 4 year old was watching intently with his hands over his ears as daddy pushed the pedal to the "boost" to around 150mph. After the pass he came up to check the car out as he always does. He started to explain to my dyno operater that the silver car had 2 turbo's, one on each side (I think he spends to much time at the shop).
Then today I picked him up from grandmas in my pickup and he told me not to be sad that the silver car has two turbo's and my truck only has one. My wife just looked at me and started laughing, then she clearly told me that one turbo on my truck is enough!
Damn that Charley!!

**427** · 03-13-2005
