Jerry set a new class record at the Ohio Mile in F/Blow Gas Coupe, breaking the old record by nearly 12 mph. The car is a 240SX running a Toyota 2JZ-GTE inline six that puts 758 horsepower to the rear wheels. It's using an MS3-Pro engine management system, naturally.
Rock on Jerry! Congratulations to the entire DIYAutotune team! --- that's a big number!
Nicely done.
Thanks, guys! Jerry's now posted an in car video of the run:

Congrats!
Does this car live in Atlanta?
Congrats! That's a seriously impressive trap speed.
Also, there's something oddly alluring about Magnum 500's on a "modern" car.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but based on his throttle position it seems to me that he could use more gear.
Car smells like a 200mph car waiting to happen.

Yes, it's typically at our shop except when we have it at Fat Cat Motorsports, who handles a lot of the fabrication work.
In reply to David S. Wallens:
Yes David the car is here in Suwanee GA, right off of 85 right in between Atlanta and Road Atlanta. Let me know if you guys are in the area and care to swing by and take a look. jerry@diyautotune.com
I like the Magnum 500's too, though I'm going to need more wheel before July so I can fit more tire under there. Might have to see if I can find any bigger similar wheels, or have some made up even possibly.
We are going to bring in Ryan Fain, the suspension guru that built and tunes the suspension on Lee Sicilio's 283mph Daytona Charger to help me stick to the ground better... that car was a handful to drive but we should be able to sort that out.
Once that's done and I can finally use the throttle and get into the power 200mph should be easy. I was barely in the throttle on that run, averaged around 33% probably....
Very cool, shows the capability of the MS3
