Here is Kenny's 9.89 @ 140+ MPH run, the board says 9.69, but some of the lights are out on it, the time slip has the correct ET at 9.89.

Why so non-responsive about the drivetrain specs? Let's here them as we are all curious about the awesome performance. Take care.

Kenny/Julio: What are you doing about your fueling...Basically doing the same route as you, just a CI (iron 408) and M12 difference. Are you still running a boost-a-pump or switch to a custom setup similar to what TrakDay has done--stock supply becomes return line and a big AN for supply line, with external e-pump such as Aeromotive?
