9.82 at ~137 MPH about 2 years ago. This was with an S1 hydraulic cam. That's as quick as a hydraulic cam has been NA, so far as I know.

3500 lb raceweight isn't far from stock...unless you weigh 300 lbs or something.

I'll be happy when that car weighs 2700 with me (190 lb) in it.

I am really close to 300lbs. The last time I checked I was 294lbs. I think I am carrying too much water weight.. I will try to slim down b4 the car is ready though..
