First pass on the 427! We put a set of ET-Streets on the car tonight and opened the cutouts and headed towards HRP.
On the way there we destroyed a GSXR 600, he hit it and Matt hit it and Matt put a few cars on him instantly. Matt started in 3rd gear (Which he should have been in 2nd), but there is a reason for that. There are some solid black marks from hitting it in 2nd on the freeway on ET-Streets.
We get to the track and we just got one pass on it before we left. We told him not to do a burn out, because he's had the car back less then a week and with our luck he'd break something. Chris told him to leave like a stop light, so he won't break 11.50s, wait till the car got up to 3500 RPM and then lay it down. He does that exactly... The 10 second Mustang takes off next to him, and all the sudden you see Matt stop his pull and start coming back on him. The lights flash up and a 11.8 @ 129.93 mph pops across the board. We took the car back to the back and it weighed 3295 with Matt in the car. The 60ft was a 2.35 and the 1/8th was almost 102mph.
Keep in mind this is leaving like its off a stop light and waiting till 3500 to floor it. We are going to go back to the track and going to go for some easy 10s at over 131-132 mph. Not bad for a car with LS1 Heads, No Electric Waterpump, Stock front tires, and 17" ET-Streets.

When are you going back, maybe I'll meet you there in my Vette and we can practice sandbagging together

LOL soon, maybe Wednesday night.
We didn't make another pass because Kooks has a flaw on some of their A.I.R. tubes where the welds failed. Well guess what it did? It blew the fck off! LOL Chris is going to weld it up tomorrow and we will be ready to go again.
So Kooks = 1.. Us = 0.. LOL!
