9.7 @ 149.4 Little better than last time.
60ft 1.54
1/4 9.773
1/4 mph 149.40
I ran 9.7 3 times today. It's a fine line between bog/spin with 3.31 gears and 27in tall tires.
I made quite a few runs today, my biggest problem shifting it at the right RPM.
It backfired on the limiter and blew the exhaust off, so we just tossed the muffler in the back of the truck.
I have a 6,200 pill in the shift light, but I was touching the 7k limiter on almost every shift of every pass (confirmed by datalog). Not sure what the hell I was doing
DA was around 2000ft, and 150mph still eluded me, but all in all it was a good day. It feels damn good powershifting my way into the 9's.
Video will be up monday. Dan also video'd it on the scales after the run, and it came in at 3,750lbs (with no muffler).

Jim awesome #'s man. I think if that car was lighter(3500-3550) 155mph+ could be had easily with the way that car sits right now. That is still getting down for 3700+ lbs no less. I think your car is the most impressive due to the fact that your in the 9's with full weight and a 6spd and the car is staying in one piece. Congrats man...

Thanks guys.
Silverghost- Thanks for spotting me out in the burnout box. I think the track workers thought I had a yacht considering how much water they were putting me into.
Jose- Thanks, and I'm very pleased at how reliable the car has been. I think the biggest thing right now that could help my MPH is better intercooling. I think air/water is in my future, it's painfull to look at my datalogs and see nearly 200 degrees through the traps.
Got Me SOM- It's alot of fun, but I would not descibe it as scary at all.
MIGHTYMOUSE- Nah, you're right there, get back to the track and powershift that thing
