Sorry for coming in late...
While we were checking out the small Bonneville car, we found that the rear tires expanded significantly at speed. Photos later showed that this was true on the salt as well.
It appeared that for us, tire growth almost exactly cancelled out tire slippage on the salt, so that calculated speed at RPM was almost exactly on.
Much slower car (143 mph) and less power (about 145 hp), skinny tires on salt, so not too much applicable to your run.
BTW - we did set four records that week.

It does look good, but its nothing that you will feel, ESPECIALLY, since you have a channel that feeds the radiator, and all that air approaching the car cant be absorbed by the radiator, so where does the air go? Yep, under the car. the air needs a path to the sides to be an effective splitter, or you better have a path out the hood! 
Plus, ive done all the pressure tests on a splitter much larger all over its surface area. the effects are not noticeable at "freeway" speeds, but if well designed, at 80mph, you will have some thing noticeable happen, if its designed well.

The only place with enough empty space to pull this off is in your head.
How many miles does it take to get a 928 to 125mph, and then accelerate another 83mph after activating the nitrous, and then slow down.
A "former Top Fuel crew chief" who has no understanding of aerodynamics or traction. Nobody who has ever truly been associated with organized racing would ever take safety so lightly.
Claiming an accomplishment and providing zero proof is a slap in the face to others that have actually been there and done that.
Damn, it's after 8pm! I gotta go for my nightly swim to texas.

I agree- I call BS...
Had this really occurred in what we term, 'reality,' your car would have been headed to the junk heap and you would have smeared into road pizza.
Sorry man...but if you don't have indisputible evidence, it's all just a delusion...
Ummm...you car is an automatic by the pics you posted...under your NOS interior controls...correct?
Whatever you're drinking...get me a double because it sure does make the world look rosey...
