Tried a little too hard here. Threw in the last 6 psi of boost I had tuned for from the dyno and threw a degree at it.So 37-38 psi down track. Holy **** does this thing fly.
Horrible pass and still 4 mph faster to the 1,000 foot than I have ever been.
Oh well. Atleast the crowd thought it was cool.
Coil failed on me which is weird. Right about 189mph. Thought I blew it up somehow. For whatever reason it Shot to 45 psi and hit boost cut so i let out. Maybe the unburnt fuel or heat in the turbine. Idk. Strange lol

Fun times.

I never realized just how much tire smoke drag drivers have to deal with.

Just watching the video I had to suppress the urge to cough.

As a few people know. I took a deposit on the Camaro back in August. The guy has been struggling to come up with the money but it looks as if he is going to pull through. So I have decided to get into a chassis a little more competative since I am hanging onto the street car theme.
So I decided to pick up this 25.5 Calypso foxbody. To run the street car classes It needed all glass, stock style suspension etc. I had optic armor so I couldnt compete in the street car class this past year. So Im excited to do that now.

So sadly the best 1/4 pass I made was a 7.22@191 and 1/8th stuck at 4.62@155. Just didnt have time to get a handle on the wheelies.
Ill miss this car for teaching me so much but Im excited to learn about these triangulated 4 links just a tad bit more!
