So you think you got 8.70s in your setup? When is ls2formula going to turn it up and go 7.90s?

For sure but it will be a while before I run an 8.7. I have a long list of tweaks that I need to do. There are also a bunch of things that I need to do for safety (both my own and the drivetrain). I am an impatient person and focused all my energy at running the number as quickly as possible within my budget constraints. Alot of people helped me out along the way. From our buddy Joe that welded up all the hot side for free, to another buddy Dave that welded up all the cold side for free. Then there is Steve (LS2Formula) that handled all the wiring along the way and provides a SUPER comfortable shop with all the amenities. There is Joe (BonnarLS1), who is always there to lend a hand, procure parts and provide much comic relief. And last but not least are our friends at the track that have allowed me to run and kept us off the streets.

Steve's going down for a very short while to make a few tweaks and get ready for our next track rental in Bradenton. Should be able to run the number there.

Congrats again LOS! Its amazing how smooth you got it going down the track too. It does a nice smooth wheelie and goes straight down the track. I gotta get my car to leave like that!
