I do believe you are right on all accounts, and this come from my vast experience of four passes.

Very cool video Tim got my heart rate up a little and I'm just watching on the computer. It sound good and it seemed to me to still be pulling rpms at the traps. I think the lack of traction and the fact you had to pedal it was the killer. Good track good air it will run the number. This of coarse come from my endless LSR experance (thats counting both passes)

We all look forward to seeing you guys, we may put you to work.

Yes!  Charlie told me after this last run that I can bend it anyway I like.   I want to get it right between my legs, as it is now I have to kinda bend my right leg out a little to be on the gas and be able to reach the shifter, and remember you wear hand restraints too.

Is that something you can improve? Faster shifting = faster speed.

We are still chasing it around with the tuning, I will say this that the new cam builds more torque in the higher rpm range.  you can feel it in the seat of your pants and you can see the rpm climb better in top gear, that's why I think the top speed will be there if I just get to fourth a little quicker.  If the truck hadn't got a little squirrely on me I would not have let off and had more time to build speed.  By the way this is not an easy vehicle to shift with the shifter position and how you are strapped in.

Did you guys find the additional power you were looking for?

If everything goes as we planned it will be witnessed by four hooligans from Finland.

Here's the video of the second run on Sat.  if you listen at the beginning you can hear the starter say "the course is horrible" then watch about the middle of the run it got a little exciting.

From what I have read about and heard the track conditions were less than Ideal.
