Default Almost another 8 sec car

Went to a street car race in Clay City, KY Saturday. Had to run a muffler and DOT tire. So I ran my big MT Radials and got a new best on those with a 9.20 @ 152.
They then had open T&T after the race so we put on the slicks, uncapped the exhaust and let her rip.

1.40- 60' spinnin and shaken
5.823 -1/8
122.833 -mph
9.004 -1/4
153.897 -mph

We tried two more times to get the 8 but the track went away and the mist was coming down harder.

I installed a sumped alum. tank and took off the catback before this race so weight was down a little from the 3,865lbs that is was before.

I'll turn it up a little more and have the race seat in for the M10 race this weekend. So I can get my 8 and 155+ mph.

Thats as close as you can get to an 8sec run. Are you guys going to Texas next month with both cars? You could get a 7sec run with the Formula and an 8sec run with the Yellow car.
