Also, FINALLY broke into the 10's today. (pics added) worked my *** off on my car this week and it paid off. probably 20 hrs in the last two days alone.
weather today was ok at best. DA was 1500
1st pass.
10.953 @ 127.221.579 60'
car pulled the wheels HARD although track prep suck bad all day. I should be pulling high 1.4X's. I got in 12 passes, the worst being 11.08!!!!
best ET all day was
10.92 @ 126.19 1.535 60'. finally got it to hook a little.
I tried all kinda of adjustments, but it would typically only pull 1.55-1.57. Track prep was really crappy, but I didn't expect much being it was opening day. I didn't see them spray VHT once though
there are video's of almost every pass so they should be up sometime soon
for next weekend I've got about 70lbs in weight reduction to do and hopefully the track will be better. :thumbup:
I wasn't gonna leave till I beat 10.94 (RMS) Mark!!!!!!!
huge thanks to Raging Motorsports for making this possible. 10.80's should be no problem with a decent track and good weather

finally got a good transmission. that was the main thing. 
believe it or not, I'm actually on transmission number 6!!!! only 50k miles on the car and it's the FIRST time I've had one that shifts correctly 
I would have been in the 10's a year ago if my car would have run right.
I've also added better heads, EWP and YT's, but that has just helped me get deeper into the 10's then I would have.

We also added a 78mm LSX for him to test out. He went from 470hp to 480hp on the dyno(see dyno forum under LSX results) Between the EWP, Yella Terra's, better heads, some tuning and LSX the car has picked up 45hp on the dyno from his last times of 11.27. Also the tranny rebuilt right this time with CF syncros and steel 3-4 fork.
Way to go John!

Damn! Thats some nice launching pics! You must have a badass suspension setup to pull the wheels like that on a 1.53 60'. My best 60' is 1.47 and my car barely looks like it's launching hard. What's your suspension setup, if you dont mind me asking.

that car has if i am not mistaken BMR rearsway bar (gotta love that piece), LCA, Tq Arm, QA1/Hal adjustable shocks, wolf cage, and some "custom" SFC (locally made). it is mainly stock replacement stuff, nothing special. just straight GETS IT!

yep, gators got it.
I was pulling 1.52 60's with 4.56's and 40 less rwhp. hoping for high 1.4X's with this combo.
I've got a lightweight k-member and a-arms up front with, !AC.
