I think you have a solid legit shot at it Phil. I dunno exactly how much you ran the car last year, but I look at it like this... your first season out running the car, and you're already probably in the top ten fastest lsx cars ever, and yo made what 30 or 40 passes probably?
That's one hell of a start, and with what you have learned, and the people you have to work with, the results are bound to follow.
Good luck with your goals, they're high, but I think they're attainable. Plus, it's awesome to see people pushing the envelope, so that guys like myself can learn what not to do

actually we made about 8-9 1/8 miles passes and probably 8-9 1/4 mile passes,with major changes in between passes,we were just starting to figure out what it wanted-this year should be awesome-more power,better suspension,more knowledge.

We had issues with our inital setup with many things, water pump for the intercooler, tune up, chassis setup ect just to name a couple. Honestly I can say that with zero experience in "outlaw drag radial", we went from 8.2 to 7.5 in our first 8 passes. This was also shaking down a BRAND NEW car that had never been down the track before.

No dout you're way ahead of the learning curve Phil. You put a serious car together and haven't even touched on what it's probably capable of, and are already up to speed, great position to be in for the goals you have set.
I look foreward to reading the results threads soon

yeah its a true dual but...the factory set up is super restrictive manifolds, terrible 90* bend before the cats, then it goes into a 5 foot long muffler, splits goes into 2 bullet resonators, then into some of the most restrictive flowing stock muffler barrels ever. If you ever wondering why the G8's are so damn quiet. that plus the ****** DOD cam
I haven't reached a verdict if I want to keep DOD or not yet....
