Default SOOO close to the 9's

Well at the LSX shootout my car went 10.06 @ 141 w/ a 1.64 60ft. I am happy so far, but man i want that extra .07. I will be heading back to the track this weekend or next to try again. The car still has the T56 and running a 275/60 MT drag radial as well.




Here is the only video i have of the LSX weekend of 10.19, it was my second best pass. Still looking to see if anyone got my 10.06 run (which I ran late during the index qualifying).

Tiago pretty much nailed it. Don't lift and shift fast, is how you keep the boost up, lol.

Car made 755 rwhp on the dyno at the shootout on 14.7psi. Car does make a bit more boost when the car has a load on it going down the track though.
