Default Finally in the 9s, new best!
Things are finally starting to come together like they should. Decided to head out to the track again since it was somewhat decent weather and put some 109 in the tank and turned it up a bit more. I also replaced my old plugs to get rid of the small miss that I had up top last time. I have been lazy and just have been driving around for months now on the bogarts with the radials and they are already down to the wear bars... damnit.

9.470 @ 143.7
1.410 60'
15 psi with a 91/109 octane mix on radials
DA was approx 3200 ft when I ran



I have some in car video that I still have to rip, hoping that somebody took some video from outside the car

I'm in Charleston, SC it was 57 yesterday. I'm use to the mid 90's and 100% humidity from a little further down south. Good run either way.
