60' 1.432
330' 3.772
1/8 5.666

Bearly looks fast in the vid that suspension must be spot on. Nice runs

What do you need the co2 for the shifter

20-21 peak with a pretty soft ramp...wasn't fully in until ~2.75 seconds in...

actually 60' is a bit slower due to the gearing...but we took a conservative boost strategy....it has been 1.41 with the old setup...

Nice run. Did something fall off the rear driver side right before you take off? Looks like you see something fall to the ground.
