Default First runs of the trans am...
This thing is pretty crazy...I'm doing my shakedowns as part of my Licensing runs, so I was only making my "moderate" runs tonight...

Anyhow...third pass...shut off at 1/8....super soft launch (1 psi...1.7x 60') it was trucking thru the middle (peak of 10 psi). 6.3x @ 120 mph

went 122mph in the 1/8 on the 2nd pass...

Def a 9 Second ride, depending on how the combo works on the top end, it can def be a 8 second car.

Yea, I figured as much but given just converting the 1/8 mile times, it gives you a ball park on where you are and where you need/want to be.

Yikes, 122 in the 1/8? What are you looking for trap-wise with this car in the 1/4?

Man that is awesome, congrats. I knew you were going to run it for some odd reason. Figures my car craps out when I go to leave the driveway coming north There will be another time though. Any idea when you'll really let her loose?
