I don't get the big deal. I go 6's in the eighth mile.

Oh wait, Brian went 7s in the quarter mile? Congrats! I knew you'd get it there, it certainly had the power. Hope to catch you at the track sometime, or bring the beast up to the dyno when you get it back together. We were disappointed you couldn't make it the last time we had a dyno day.

what sucks is that Phil and I reviewed the driveshaft logs last night...that last run...where it spun 1.1s into the run was on its way to a 1.30 60' (had it stayed in the groove). Would've probably been a high 7.8x run

Congrats,
Quite an acomplishment.To get the car to mph like that did you run a taller tire?

Nothing like a 6second ride,unless its 5s.

great job.

To get that combo to work like that its quite a feat all your time an effort paid off.

The car seems to be working very well.
