Default Big Mike and Cartek do it again!!!!!!

We ran the car today at Englishtown with the new NOS Direct Port Setup. Let's start with the temp., brutal, absolutely brutal! The DA was somewhere around 3000+. The heat was so bad and the humididty was sickening! Anyhow, onto the results! First run off the trailer:
60'= 1.486
330= 4.095
1/8= 6.289
1/8mph= 111.77
1000'= 8.189
1/4= 9.802
mph= 139.62

Notice the soft 60'. The car spun the tires violently all through the 60'. On my 9.98 pass back in May the car had a 1.40 60', but that was at Atco and E-Town is notorious for not hooking good. If we can get this car to hook I'm very confident the car will go 9.50's or better. Remember, stock ci. and forged internals with a pleasing shot of nitrous

Officially the Fastest Stock cubic inch LS1 w/ power adder officially registered!!!

Dave, Julio, Roy and Rich really got their stuff together! I can't thank you guys enough for the incredible work you've done on my car! Everything is exactly the way I want it!

Better weather and a hooking track = 9.50-!!!!

Julio will be posting the offical timeslip shortly!

Damn Mike. You're moving out. Let's see some 1.3x 60's out of that beast.

Great times Mike.Great to see the NOS System working for you.I was going to use a TNT system,but they are kinda hard to get.Looks like I'll be using NOS for my setup.Is the NOS system readily available? I'm getting close to completion and need a Direct-port system bad.

Nice run man!

Hey, now that your running solid 9's did you already setup your car to be NHRA legal? or are you going to do that in the future?

Also like aren't you supposed to get a NHRA license and **** too?

Great run. Looks ike the guy in the next lane was no sloutch either. Who were you running? I bet two high 9 cars running neck and neck must have been such a rush! Congrats on the new time.

BigMike...out of curoiusity, why the TH350 instead of the TH400...I know its less weight, but the Th400 seems more popular. Rossleer kicks *** on auto's, doesn't he?!?! I had a 700 he did for me, and was the ONLY one in my area to have a 700R4 that could take abuse.
