Yeah ,that was 30 minutes ago. And I wen back out after I posted and started it again, a little more agressive on the throttle, and WOW. That video doesn't even tell it. I was trying to be gentle on the VERY FIRST START!

Limited only by your cojones and the road you are on!

ha, really.... it is limited by the aerodynamics. So, over 170 is achievable.

Well, I finished the entire drive train. After taking the trans out, bellhousing off, clutch and pressure plate off, putting the bellhousing and trans back on, and checking for end play (it was fine). Remove the trans and bell housing, putting the clutch and pressure plate back in, bell housing back on, fixing the hydraulic throwout bearing (shorter length piston for clearance) and re-installing the trans, driveshaft, exhaust, etc. It is DONE!!!!!

If I had a radiator I would be driving it around the block (without a windshield) tonight.

Clutch is strong but not too strong. You would get a small workout in Houston traffic, but it is not as bad as the one Super Snake I tried. It pumped up immediately, and stays firm even after sitting.
