150 off the line (wuss!) and 300 down the track. The car looked badass going down the track guys, no drama at all. Next time hit her with the 300 off the line too

8s rock, that car is moving!

So, 300 total (150 building into 300) or 450 total (150 then an add'l 300)?

Either way, 8s is moving. Same motor/heads as before? Weight?

150 off of the transbrake to 300 in a 1.3 seconds. 300 total. Same setup as before minus some weight. Raceweight was 3,208 lbs.

Next time out it's 300 of the transbrake to 400 in 1 second. And a 1.3x 60' time.

Chris ran out of gear around the 1000' mark. We're going to raise the limiter and do the same with the window switch pill.

Looks like he'd be giving the hit and 2 cars

Look forward to hearing how it does leaving on the real shot.

Thats moving Chris ! Nice mph.. I would bet with nothing other than a suspension tune to get that 60 ft. down you'll be in the .70's easily .. Congrats !
