Last preparation for 400 MPH

[mde]

We are in the last status to try to reach our goal with 400 MPH at the end of the Speedweek on the Bonneville Salt Flats. We made some changes after last years fire accident in the engine room. This year we running different coolant fluid and made some changes on the firewall also the engine is stronger for the 90 second 100% load and around 1200 HP and 2200 lbs-# torque. We have still one gear to go as we calculated a max speed with 397 MPH.

Fastest diesel we are coming!!!! Wish us luck that speed god keep us safe ...

Yes ...

Why not run strait water?

Now we run just coolant. The problem is that the frame is hallow and is also the coolant tank. So we have a rusting problem with just water ...
