Default Two new bests for RPM

I will start with second place... me
I made three passes, the first two are the only ones worth mentioning. This is with my 2nd DIY kit, 9.5#'s of boost, pump gas with alky injection and as i drive it on my 17" DR's.
First pass i went a 11.27 @ 126.5 but ran out in 4th with my rev limiter at 6700.
second pass i moved it up to 6850 (kinda worried about the bottom end now...) went an 11.08 @ 131 and change with a 1.69 60'... but still hit the rev limiter before the end of the track.
So i think with my pro stars/taller ET streets on and a cooler night, (was in the 90's), i can dip well into the 10's as is.

Now for the champ... he probably won't post it so i will. He owned me in the last run of the night, a grudge run ... all in good fun though.
His specs are: '02 firehawk, procharger with i think 10#'s, G5X cam (??), exhaust, minor bolt-ons, stock heads/bottom end, pump gas w/alky injection, and here is the kicker.. STOCK 10-bolt on 17" DR's..... 10.79 @ 130.8 with a 1.71 60' (he had cut two 1.66's prior to this pass). I don't know if that is a record but i think it is pretty damn impressive... congrats Adam!



Anyways, was a great night mainly because i didn't break anything
