Default In the 8's!!!!!!!!!

We are in Charlotte NC. for Pinks All Out, I must say track is awesome. They will be running 4 wide tomorrow when they pick the 32 car field.
Anyways....
First pass off the trailer, we ran a 9.12 at 154 with a marginal 1.55 60ft leaving the line at 2 psi.
Second test pass in the evening, when the temps were a bit lower, I left the line at 8 psi, cut .031 light, ripped off a 1.33 60 ft, the 1/8th came by at 5.63 at 126.6 mph and on to at 8.84!!!!!!
I think we raised some eyebrows with the little street car!

congrats, few questions.

weight of the car?

how much boost, race gas?

rear suspension setup? car left VERY nice, anti sway?

oh and what gears are you running? I'm looking to run a really nice 3.00 gear and 28.00 tires , great rpm on the street, and can leave on alot of boost.
