Default 1200 rwhp Dyno Vid and several runs at Texas Invitational

went to try to see if I could squeeze anything more from my setup. Its been the same for about 3 years now, nothing changed.

I tried a couple more lbs of boost but it leaned out, made 1230 in the last pull, but my injectors are maxed out crazy, I had to back it down to 1100 in order to stay safe.

this was right before going to the Texas Invitational Event, had some real good runs!

I was watching the vids with my near 3 year old boy. Mom just took him to bed kicking and screaming. He was loving it. I promised him we would watch it again in the morning. Priceless.

Impressive. Are you using any aero additions to help at high speed? Chin spoiler, etc.

Wow your car moves. Any weight reduction or aero mods? Also what trans?

Im really surprised. Was the Alpha Omega on low boost or something? Because that car makes 1600whp and put down a 8.62 at like 170 or so. Also, Im surprised you took out Mullet as well, his car put down like 1250whp or something like that and everyone knows how well those GTs do on the top end.

Good kills sir.
