I read briefly about your car in another thread, what is the best you have run so far? I love the way it looks.

i only got to the track once, and ran 8th mile, best of 107mph boost only, i have huge gears and only a 3000 stall, cutting 2.0 60fts and then making boost like 100ft out. so she rolls pretty good once in power, last pass of the night i sprayed it small out of the hole and it 60ftd 1.8, i spun alot had to let out, only 103 in the 8th and then stayed in it the rest of the track, went 11.0 @ 134.

thats my best stuff to date, i only have like 10 passes setting up the boost controller and realizing 2.73 gears, 3000 stall, and 27 inch tires does not = launch master, thats why the juice is there. gunna up the jetting and try a fresh pair of radials and see if i can get a 1.6
