Congrats on the new best! What were the track conditions like? What tranny/gear are you running? Do you have the chassis setup with any extra good parts?(Sphon TA, Drag Swaybar, etc)

I'm starting to notice, that turbo cars run way harder to the 1/8 mile while trapping the same in the 1/4. Guessing it's just from boost coming in sooner. Congrats on 10.7s on pump gas.

Congrats Ricky, I'm sure the weather was better. Wait until a nice 55-60 degree, low humidity, 30.3 barometer day comes around. Then put in some good gas and bump the tune a little and you will be pretty happy.
