Maybe not as twisted as it felt at all. Here is a low resolution preview pic from Devastation Motorsports.

Is that both front wheels off the ground or is that just an illusion ??.

No illusion on the wheels up. As for street racing, not gonna happen.

Thanx Guys.

Something was bothering me about the pic from the track photographer. I finally put my finger on it. I know my car twists. Yet in the picture it was dead level. When I looked at the background stuff it was all leaning. He had his camera tilted to the side. So I rotated it and cropped it until all of the surroundings were upright. Now it looks right to me.

Well. I am too old and smart for that stuff now, but back in the day, a little of that went on. Here is my only kill thread:

What's next with the car ? Seems like a very well matched package. Curious at to whether you think there are any spots in the combination that could be improved. 1-7/8" headers maybe ?

We were talking about that last night. I think I am good for now. I want to break 130 which I think it will do with minor tweaks. We talked about 9 seconds, but I am going to pass on that milestone. At least for a while

At 11 seconds, it did not feel fast. Mid 10s feels really good and 60's in the 1.4s is a pretty hard launch. I get a jacked on a nitrous pass. It is strong.

A 150 shot seems safe. The plugs look great and the car sounds and feels good at that level. I think if I push it harder, stuff is going to start breaking. That car was not built with this type of ETs in mind, so the transmission, rear end and suspension was just not built for it. So, everything from here forward will be thousands of dollars.

So, I have found that magical spot where satisfaction meets wallet.
