I still haven't hooked up the trans brake. All passes were off the foot brake. Wanted to prolong the 10 bolt's life for at least the rest of the day!

Damn, that's some Good MPH! Here I am hoping for a 13X trap if I can get out to the track once more this year.. lol Excited to add boost to my setup this winter now seeing all these turbo car traps! Going to be some more decently quick street cars from MN next year!

Oh, and like someone already stated, the pictures don't do this car justice. It's done very well.

Thanks Zach. Maybe I'll get my hands on a stronger rear over the winter and be able to hook up the trans brake for next spring and go back to the track again. Might need to break down and put a cage in some time too. They didn't say anything to me Saturday, but if I dip into 9's I think they might.

I was shocked they didn't say anything to me. I ran two 9 second passes and thought for sure I would get the talk.

I was curious if they were going to say anything to you. Good to know they didn't. When I teched in the guy had me open my hood and at that moment he asked "how fast did it go last time?" I replied, "High 11's low 12's."

Pretty sure that will be my approach next time too since it did run high 11's twice this time around. lol

That's my favorite part of making to the track this year… My best run was only at 12.43... So I just tell people just its only a mid 12 car. I don't say anything about the trap speed lol. Then they think it's an LT1 car still.

It shocked the crap out of me that the 10 bolt handled a 1.48 60' without puking all over. I guess now I can say I have a 9 second street car. Lol

Here's the time slip from the fastest pass yesterday. The rear end seems to be howling a bit louder today....



Here's another video from last weekend I forgot to post.

You may have one of the fastest 10bolt cars in the country. I ran 10.20a134mph back 10yrs ago on a stock M6 10bolt and that was quick!!

Pretty sure injectors are in the bottom of the list for now. It needs suspension before more power!

Haha maybe! Would be interesting to know.

I weighed the car Saturday night when I got home from the track. The scale said 3760 with me and about half tank of e85.

I've been waiting on these for about 6 weeks now... hopefully the other new parts start coming in soon too!
