Congrats Coach! :worship: You definately have an impressive setup, and dead nuts consistent.

So is FEAR learning to pilot the hot rod down the driveway ... sounds like the next mod could be a lighter driver (like I did).

Good luck Coach!

Nice Pass Coach. Congrats.

Seems like you have an ideal package?

How much quicker do you think you could go with the Hyd. roller?
(everything else staying the same, 347ci, 3150 race weight etc.)

Could it go 9's?

I would say pretty close to the ideal package. I have had great help from LME, Madman/Thunder, Conely's & all the members here at LS1tech.

I think the Hot Rod could run high 9's(In the Texas summertime heat) for sure with a Hyd. roller.

05_Gunmetal_Silv,
Thanks. This race was at HRP(Baytown, Texas).

sbusby,
We saw plenty of those type of Cats this past weekend at the inlaw in Oklahoma.

Great run, as always, but you already know that. Yes, I can vouch for HRP for being a great track to race on! Do you ever get tired of seeing the sky when you take off? I hope to get my car "right" soon so I can come do some more bracket racing with you Houston peeps! Finally, some REAL competition! You got that car perfect in all aspects which is where I hope to be soon. Great job!!
