HOLY SHIT!!!!:burn:

That was freaking awesome. I only wish I could see that much sky through a windshield one day. Best I ever did was about an inch off the ground in a 6 speed street car going 11.67. Great job, and thanks for the vid.

Damn awesome run Mikey What's the new setup???

Still N/A :eek:??

wow, nice.......

That's flat out gettin' it done.

sick as hell man, mad props n/a

Nice vid!

Wow..

Great vid car moves out

Nice run man, throw the car in neutral when you finish the run. Thats really hard on rod bolts and everything else.

If its a reverse pattern valve body with engine braking then he doesn't need to do that. Non engine braking may be ok though I would still be wary of doing that.

LOL, this made me laugh. In a reverse pattern valve body, you have to go from 3-2-1 to get to N. Also, as soon as you let go of the throttle, the converter begins to slip so contrary to what you think you know, it's not hard at all on a properly built motor. Now go run some more 12's :jest:

Didn't even pay attention to the shift pattern, haha my bad. Just sounded like it was engine braking pretty hard when you let off, from the shift pattern it looks like there is nothing you can do about it. Not sure what running 12's has anything to do with this though? Our track closed in september and now its time to get out the sleds.

Yes but I don't think it was N/A I'm sure Mikey will correct me if I'm wrong.
It was a sick run 9.51@143mph I can't even forget that run :usa:

Freakin bad man!!!!!

Nice vid!

yes, you dont want to toss a RMVB trans back to neutral.... Not to mention the fact that if you did the internals would be spinning something like 2.5 time the rpm of the motor. No good. BUT, super killer run man! Def. getting it done!

nice run mikey, glad to see the inside view. that thing sounds mean can't wait to see it when i stop by in the spring :D

damn that was awesome

Not sure what running 12's has anything to do with this though?

Because running 12's and 9.0's is a completely different ballgame. Mikey
knows what he's doing. You just don't slap an engine together and go
run bottom 9's n/a without having years of experience.

First 9 second run for an LS1 was my car back in March of 2000 I think. It went 9.51 on a "small" hit of N2O :drive:

Thought I'd bring this back up just for fun :)

Why !!!! 8sec ?? :D

I watched again and yes it was fun. :nod:

nice awesome video
