Default Kerminator Goes 9's....

The Kerminator hath done it!

This is done with no dyno tuning at all. Left the BG carb the way it was. Car had to be worked on at the track as George found a ton of brass inside the BG Carb (I actually have heard of this happening to another gentleman today). Shiftlight was not operational which kind of sucked and since we didnt get it on the dyno I have no clue what powerband this thing has. I was shifting around 6800 trying to keep my eyes on the track.

9.94 @ 135.93
1.42 60' (Blah!)

We'll be hitting the dyno on Monday to see how the a/f is.

BIG THANKS TO THE TTP CREW: ROB JAY NICK JAKE BILLY. We've all put in an enormous amount of hours to get our car running. They did all the work, I just drove what they gave me.

CONGRATS on the 9.94 run!

Awesome results for essentially shakedown runs w/o dyno tuning!!!

Thanks for setting up a real fun rental, the cars were all fast, and lot's of new bests were had. And did I mention the Lemon Chicken and Pumpkin Cake was awesome?

Thanks everyone! I can't thank my crew enough. I think if we had to push that car down the track with a rocket car just to see it go 9's we would have paid for it to be done. This is many months in the making, unfortunately it comes apart this winter again. BUT, for a faster combination.. Look for us in NOPI PRO Street Tire & NMCA Xtreme Street series next year...

I could feel that the car was not making the top end charge. It also didnt have the 60' that it should be capable of. I'd like to see if we can get this thing out next week again. I'll be glad to post dyno sheets of how the car is now vs. the tuned graphs. Pretty cool working with a carb. I am especially impressed with the throttle response, this thing raps on 5k with a little flick.

Sweet. Do you have the vid of the 9.94 pass? Rob's camera ran out of room half way into the pass.
