That's a good starting point. I ran my car a few more times and could never get it to hook as well as it did on this first pass.

As long as its hooking decent I like Steele! Its a fast track for sure. Do they still do the midnight madness there? I have seen some crazy stuff there, sometimes scary, but entertaining for the spectators.

It was good to meet you as well. I was surprised that the TA turned a 13! You should've been smiling on the way home.

My best was the 11.03 on my 3rd pass. We'll be back for sure.

Randy's head is spinning trying figure out what is next. Real world experience is priceless. He'll be a better man for it when he DOES hit 11's. He will have earned it an dunderstand what it takes to actually turn a good time.

Best of luck to you and hope to run into you again.

I was. I've decided not to spin the blower any faster to get my 10's. I'll cam it and add headers, port the TB and PP the blower. The headers will drop the boost 2 lbs so I'll be able to use the larger lower pully to bring it back up. Should be a pretty substantial gain. Then we'll plug in a 200 shot and see if 9's are in my future. There are 3-9 second V's that I know of, on thhe boards anyhow. I may be number 4.

Enjoy modding the TA, see you next time.
