Default 9.21 Letting out... *video*

Well we went to the GVille to make my licensing passes Sat. It was a good day all in all. Couldn't run the car all out, but I just made sure it was safe and straight on every pass.

For those that don't remember...

04 GTO Twin GT42R 74mm Turbos custom build, A2W IC, FTI Converter, Iron 408, ETP240cc Heads, Moser 9" SRA Conversion, TH400...

Only at 13psi all day!!!

Let me know what you think!

What a bad *** car, not even straining! Can't wait for the big 8...

What cam do you have in there? It sounds sort of aggressive (but cool).

Thanks guys. We are pretty certain 8.9s should be doable with a little more suspension tuning and A/F tuning with the race fuel. And we already started discussing the possibilities of making he cage a 25.5 and setting it up to go faster. Sadly enough 9.2s really did not feel stupid fast, maybe its because the car is so easy to drive down the track, I dunno!

Yup, it has definitely helped so far! We need you to come out with us one night and work on the suspension tuning!!!

I'm sure you got a lot more than 8.9's in her if you let off so soon.

And if the car doesnt feel fast that means the suspension is and chassis are working right. You don't want to have a handful of a car with that much power, its nearly impossible to control when it gets loose.

Looks like you can get off the line harder for sure.

Do you drive that thing on the street? Or have you turned that street car into a race car now?

Yeah I was saying 8.9 with only 13psi.
And yes we still need to lea e harder, but we wanted to do what we knew would work for the licensing runs and not tweak stuff when it was working just fine.

It is mostly a track car, but I have taken it on 30+ mile highway drives and to lunch often. And fernando drives it almost every day it sits at his shop!
