The calculations say it is possible to go 70+mph...but I never could get it up to full throttle because the tires constantly break loose. Towards the end of the video there were a couple of passes where I was close to full throttle but not quite. I absolutely have to get a radar gun. I keep talking about it but I keep spending my $$$ on car parts!

By the way...I see some other folks on here are installing one-speed centers. This was a PITA to keep the DM-1 center shaft from sliding back and forth because there aren't any bearing stops milled into the shaft. Brian helped me come up with the idea to make a shim using 8.1mm inner diameter stainless steel tubing and a couple of 8.1mm innerdiameter washers. It worked like a charm. I still have some of that tubing if anybody needs it. If you order it from onlinemetals.com they charge an arm and a leg for shipping.
