Noobz, you have your a&p? They called what we did flying but it was only like 6"(that's what she said..)
When you went down 8 sec was it hairy or was it over too quick to get nervous?(ha! That's also what she said, I'm on a roll)I drove my engine builders 8 second 1200+ hp Mustang down the quarter mile one time.
My work vehicle has the most power though. 13,900 lbs of thrust a side. I've fixed a few minor things on it, but I'm paid to drive it.

Mmmm....heavies. You fellas worked way to hard for my liking. Tis the fighter world for me, especially as a civilian.

I don't. But I stick with military jobs, so usually not requried.I know you were not asking me but I have my A&P.

I guess it's time to be honest and be more clear. I think I ended up running a low 9 in the car. I ran it with one of the nitrous kits turned off. It was actually the easiest cars I ever drove. It had a glide and a trans brake, along with really good suspension, so it went very straight. It was a crap ton of acceleration though.

175hp Kawasaki ZX10R. Cars aren't fast....Trust me!
Not really. Although the lic isn't required, experience is. Usually a few years worth. Civilian side likes the lic more than the exp. Been saying I need to get my lic for years now, just never have. Bottom falls out of the military jobs, and I fear it may, I'll be screwed. 24 years of exp, and I'll be lucky to find something in the civ world without the magical license. Have the airframe ticket, but they wouldn't give me the powerplant ticket. I'm the only former cc I know that the FAA wouldn't give a powerplant ticket to. Thought about talking to the feds out here about it, but not sure how accepting they would be of my engine experience since I got out in 99 and that's when I quit doing much with engines. A little recip work when I first got out l, but since then nothing.
Just out of interest, who built your turbo engine? I'm just amazed at how expensive those high hp gas engines are when the parts list for them seems so benign.
