Default Finally got to test the new combo

Here is a vid from my first time in the 9s! The car felt really stable going down the track. I left the car just like I drive it on the street. 17" wheels, baby seats still in the back, tools and folding chairs in the truck Boost was set to 11psi.
All in all, I'm super happy with how it turned out. The car has met all of my goals so far!

I am having some surging issues on the big end that I need to figure out, but thats going to require a trip to the dyno.

Nothing like driving it to the track like that and running a 9.62! I'm a huge '62 to '67 Chevy II/Nova fan and your car is one of the nicest I've seen. Congrats!

Thanks guys! I'm not sure what's up with the board, but It only ran 9.82. I guess the bulbs were burnt out or something, but my slip said 9.82. haha, not often your faster on video then on paper

Tomz28- my 60ft was 1.43, but I'm thinking it will leave harder. I was leaving at 6-7psi and it didn't spin at all. so next time I'm going to try leaving harder till it spins, then back down a hair
