You know Terry's GTR is amazing especially the exhaust, but the build quality that Errol and TPS put into the SC is down right amazing. I even spent a good amount of time talking with Errol and Mary today that I'm possibly gonna have them build my car.

Terry. Congrats. This has been a long time coming. You deserve everything. The car is more than amazing
As far as the correction factor. 1.07 is too high of a correction factor in Florida and most everywhere. 1.07 would be a typical correction factor in Utah. Here in Florida the most you will see is 1.03 maybe maybe 1.04 on a 104 - 106 degree day with 50% - 70% humidity. You know me. Not taking anything away from the build, setup, Errol or yourself. Just like correct info as you do as an engineer

Thanks Alpha. I'll take note of the correction factor - it was 100F in the shop and about 63% humidity. So a 1.03 would give me about 840rwhp @ 28 psi during a third gear pull. We know there is more left in the 'tank' and we will do an E85 run real soon in 'fourth' gear and hope for a little better weather conditions.
And you're correct. If indeed it did see a 1.03 it would ball park 837whp. Third gear. Come on now Terry. I know Errol doesn't do no weak third gear pulls 
Hurry up and get the corn in her

3rd Gear Pull is not loading the engine. 5th is 1:1 ratio on the 6spd.

It was indeed a third gear pull. Errol was really trying to 'just' the get the motor happy - remember we have 'only' done 7 total pulls since the build was completed. It's going to be interesting when we do the E85 pulls - they won't be in third gear.
