I finally made it! Well we finally did it tonight.. All this hard work and time we have spent on the car it finally did it.. The first nitrous pass we made tonight 
Even with a 1.43 60ft! When I launched the n2o didnt instantly hit because of my 3500 RPM pill, about 30ft out it took off like I got kicked in the ***! I had my Progressive turned on 150 -> 300 in 1.1 seconds. ONE SINGLE KIT! Plumbed up Nick K who I might add has 3 kits that has done that have gone 8s (BlueGoose, Blackbird, and the Silver Z). For some reason the car seems to be running out of gear, maybe my shift into 2nd is to early (6700), but right pass the 1/8th mile my shift light came on, and at the 1100ft my rev limiter hit (My n2o turns off at 7k and my rev limiter is at 7500). Just stayed into LOL. I had no idea it was going to go a 8!
I cant find my motor pass slip but I went a 10.68 @ 131 on motor with a 1.7 60ft (Nitrous converter for the lose LOL)
3 or 4 months ago I doubted that we would ever get the car back together because well it was in about 1 billion pieces! Well we missed the race by 1 week, because of some dyno problems at 3am Saturday morning.
There are are ALOT of people that have helped me along the way and you know who you are! But I do have to give some people thanks.
Chris Ehrlich from MTI ... This kid wow... if it weren't for him I'd still be sitting in the garage right now! Words can't explain how bad *** of a job he's done on the wiring of this thing!
Brian Urban.. If its metal, holding something, etc.. and it looks pimp Brian did it! He also kept us organized the whole time! He also picked the car up single handedly LOL!!!
Ben Robertson.. Hes Benji! He helps anywhere he can.. and he brings over them maw fawking cookies!
G-Force Motorsports.. What yall did for me trying to make the race I cannot think of a way to thank you all! I had Jay and Mike up two nights till atleast 4 am with me at the shop trying to get everything ready. And of course Franco because well when I need something he's always got it, and he is willing to help anytime I need it!
MTI.. Jayson see you in a few days, need to change the fuel a little bit, when I put the fuel system on it threw the tune off. You have your self a bad *** team over there
LME.. For a bad *** motor!
Icon Autosports, Mike Pabon, Nick Kalergis, and Paul Wong.. A little more then a year ago Jay sent me over to Mike to buy some parts, and we got to talking about nitrous kits, because I had a TNT F2 and it was giving me some problems. Mike showed me some of the work that Nick did on the nitrous kits and I was amazed. Well it wasn't a matter of time before a direct port and kooks install turned into a Powerglide, suspension, etc.. Next thing I know the car goes a 9.5 @ 120mph with Mike letting out at the 1000ft. You guys started my quest at that I can never thank you either!
And of course Matt, Lil Powell, he has done all he can to help out and it is amazing what he can do. But the next focus is his car, LOL. Hopefully he'll have himself a single digit slip too
And of course always my friends.. Jeff Williams, Zac, Thomas, Coach, Hatley, Hodges, Crager, Joe (ex-ss-ve), Alex, and any other person I forgot.

That was a great night of racing. Congrats to you and the whole team for getting it all to come together. You guys deserve it.
I bet that's a scary *** feeling. Can you imagine what it's capable of with a low 1.3 60ft :0
I'm glad I was there to witness it.
