Congrats to Rygenstormlocke on this major accomplishment! Rygen has pushed the limit time and time again. ten seconds is a VERY FAST car, no matter what engine is used. he has managed to accomplish this with the 4.0L V6 in his S197!

check out the link, its a very good read!

Thanks for the props, much appreciated. I put about as much into it as most 10 sec DD S197's do. Once you get past cage territory, it seems the build up is nearly identical for both platforms to run reliably for many track seasons.

Except, Ford continues to put the damn 7.5 rear end in the 6ers, which I had to swap out.

Wow... i'm floored. Great job.

I checked out your page, the car has gone through quite a journey to get where it is today.

Yea, its been through 4 different setups. Once we get the cage in, I'd like to dial it in at 10.5 and have the ability to run the brackets 10.5 to 11.5 with the turn of a boost controller. Though I wish it was as simple as that.
