Damn, that car is so friggin sick, I cant wait to seee what it runs at with the boost its built for. Keep in mind folks, Rick and the HPE guys were dealing with zero track prep, most guys couldnt even hook. 8.24 is sick, I have said it in the past full boost, right DA that car is going to be in the 7s and going trap near 180MPH. I love how on this low boost its only 2MPH from Dukes trap, I just cant wait to see this thing hook and run on full boost. Whps talking **** about LT1s now?

Wastegate completely closed and boost down on 15lbs and AF was at 10.8 - 1

the car was going as slow as it could and it STILL ran that number! I cant wait to see the car when it can hook and run at 30lbs of boost


Will go faster when we are on a better track and can run 30lbs


Congrats to rick, chuck, josh, dan, brandon, and shane! Really got that car moving

And all of this was because of the HPE motor / and Madman/JBZ chassis on the car! car would NOT have worked with out it since the track was less than PAR!!!
