Default 6.82/198mph last weekend in testing.
After our first hit of the weekend, threw a little more power in it and went for his first 6 second pass.

Almost skipped the .80's and .90's all together.
Went 6.82/198mph shutting down at 6.44s into the run. RPM got to the point where he has it programmed to drop timing out to keep from over spinning it. (basically it starts to lay over)

Single Garrett Gen 2 98mm for that race. We use the 88mm for X275 only. 98mm is legal for NMCA Street Outlaw.

315 radials out back? How much converter slip up top? What was the 60ft on that pass? I am amazed what you guys can do with 7psi boost and 4K launch.

275 pros are really all we use.

All I have is a calculated number, its not really a true number.. but what I saw was around 6-10%ish

It went a soft 1.159 on that pass

1.159
2.989
4.455
166.76

6.82
198.00
