Gotcha! The Trutrac may be the one thing holding stuff together at this point lol. I only got one track visit so far (with only 2 passes) and had a 2.0 60ft, so I haven't really tested the limits i'm sure. But i've done several 2nd gear blasts on these BFG dr's on the 125 shot and she is still holding up...knock on wood lol

Yea they didnt prep the track at all from what I saw and could tell but I had fun. Just wanted to go out and run the 11 so I could say it's an 11 sec car instead of,well it should run 11's easy from what my builder say..Lol My builder had built basically an identical motor for another guy in a auto trans car that ran 10.9's to 11.1's so we knew what it was capable of but my car is full weight on 18's and the other guy has a lot of weight reduction on 15's. After I get slam air bags on my new F-150 I'm gonna bring it on the trailer and drop the air pressure and make some hard launches to see what it will do and play with the compression/rebound settings on the rear Viking Coilovers. They were on the street setting that CSC Customs had them on since they installed them for me. They should help let the car squat. It didnt squat much Wed night as they were set kinds stiff for the road to keep my rear wheels from hitting the fender wells on hard bumps. Hit me up next time ya go,If Im off ill meet ya out there.
Good deal, that's the fun part (dialing in the car). I doubt you'll have a problem doing that with your setup. I'll let you know when I head to the track again, hopefully I can get a couple other cars to come to.

Your right it is fun,especially when you hit the sweet spot. Next time out I hope to bring it on a trailer so I can hammer on it a lil harder. I plan on softening up the compression,and slowing the rebound and drop the air pressure to @12-15lbs and see if I can hit the 11.4 mark. I may even delete my front sway bar. I see a lot of people do it but I'm not sure if its just a weight reduction or helps free up the front to help the car leave. Just hit me up next time you go to NPR. I like the blk on blk with your car! Looks badass!
