Looks awesome! The video with the camera on the side of the car is sick.

Ryan did you do a brake upgrade? I know you mentioned it this past winter? That jersey barrier by the tree looks like it's really close to the racing groove.

Congrats! It's funny how similar our timeslips are to each other. Makes me want to get back out to the track and get my 60' down a little bit, they would damn near be identical. Screw this heat out here!

I would really like to add the Wilwoods up front, but I am still running factory brakes up front. I have had the wilwoods out back for several years, they are great. Hell, right now I am even running the stock steel hood, while I am painting the Sunoco hood that I normally run.

I still haven't made a full pass this year. With the heat being mid 90's - 100 degrees out I just don't have the desire to put a firesuit on and melt inside of it.

Looking for solid 8's myself.

I estimate my raceweight at 3600# with me in it and a full tank of gas, but I have not weighed it.

That run was 13# on the brake, 16# in first and 20# in second and third.

Hit the steam room man. Might be able to sweat off a few pounds. Wait for a tail wind before your next pass. .04 seconds is so damn close

It is a 3.50 gear. I cross the traps at 6700 rpm @ 154 mph.

The Boost Controller is an Exhile/Presicion Turbo MSBC-1.
