Wow, build an 8.5 car, go to track for a couple shakedowns and run the number right outta the box. AWESOME JOB DON!

And thats only 18lbs on 93
Car all came together nice as hell. Job well done, looks great too.

Loads up nice on the tbrake, if you didn't have to peddle the 60' you probably have a few more tenths that pass.
Little more track prep it run even faster as is.

Don's car has so much more potential..I'd say with the right converter and nailing a low 1.2x 60 ft she has the potential to run 8.0-8.1
