Good meeting you guys. Honestly we didnt think it was going to lift up so hard being so heavy especially on the front. We were so rushed to get the car done and just didnt have time to put on the limiters. Limiters will be on soon and hopefully the new turbo shows up shortly after.

Update on the car.
Well I changed the shortblock to a smaller CI over the winter. Got S&M motorsports involved in the tuning department and the car feels like an animal.
Had to figure a few things out on the car and how to stage it but towards the end we had it working.
Went 8.98@154 with a little peddle at the launch and a crappy 60ft of 1.40

Was able to get the car under the 8.50 mark with the change of a turbo from CRT and some suspension upgrades from UMI. Had my best pass in Indy at the lsx shootout 8.35@162 with a 1.21 60ft in a 3480lb car. Before that ran an 8.58 and an 8.48.
Don't mind the window being sucked out. Didn't realize I didn't have it all the way up.

Finished the year out strong. Went out to MIR for the import vs domestics race and put up a new best 60ft and Et still weighing in at 3500ish lbs. Looking to upgrade the cage next year, upgrade the intercooler and turbo placement and take about 400 lbs out of her and see where I end up. Thanks to all of my friends, family, and sponsors for the awesome year.

So I took the year off last year to get the car where I wanted it for 2016. Here are some of the current pics of the car. Trying get to that 7 sec zone and win a couple races.
