Default getting closer...new best

after running 2 10.8x passes, we checked the plugs and noticed i fried 3 electrodes and one ceramic (tr6's). so we put in one heat range colder plugs and went 10.272 @ 132.35 with a 1.46 60' on the 200 maf shot still(stock bottom end). i also got to try my new wolfe weld in sway bar. works like a charm. car left nice and flat. the only suspension piece i need now is a torque arm. still using the stock one . the da was just under 4500' on that run. Vegas sucks huge thanks to Sam for getting the plugs to the track and getting me the t's and lines to run 2 100 horse shots through the maf. Dave for running my *** around looking for plugs. and Seth was there offering moral support.....all from combination motorsports. see you in La

p.s. we got video of this pass as well and hopefully it will make it online

Man, it makes me wonder why anybody ever does anything besides nitrous, heads, and cam. That's awesome, congrats.

Nice times, I hope to put down some decent times like that when I get finished putting in the new engine. I have some combination motorsport springs in 6.0 heads ready to take a beating by my cam. Thanks again all at Combination Motorsports.

Nice pass!! Is that on a stock bottom end? Do you think there is still more HP in that combo? I can't wait to see what that car can run in good air.

Good luck

Rob,
Nice run man. Now I have to catch up even more. Maybe a 200 shot will be in my future and some heads.

Now that is flying down the track.

Good luck at the Shootout!

Congrats on the nice run. I've got a couple of quick questions for you because the setup looks pretty familiar.

What size tire are you running?

Did you fire off both 100 HP shots out of the hole or are you bringing on the second stage shot after the 60?
