Default 1st day track results

Not anywhere near as impressive as Ryan Ks car, but hey for it's maiden voyage under boost, I'm HAPPY! I ran a best of 11.07 @ 125. Considering I'm only getting 6 psi, and it's running out of fuel pressure, I'll take it. Oh, and the car weighs 4000 lbs!

Now I'll change a few things & see where it ends up. 10s baby!!!

11.0 is nothing to sneeze at especially for its maiden voyage and that its at a baby boost level.

You'll be in the high 10's with a little more practice with the 125 mph. Bob

Mark will have NO PROBLEM getting into the tens. He needs new set of gears to keep him out of OD and a good fuel pump in the tank and thats it. Rock On Mark!

Thanks Ryan! If not for you & Ellis & Jimbob & Don, I'd still be running 12s....

And yes, it's an iron block & that's with the power numbers in my sig. Note - I have documented 27% driveline loss from the stall & gears, so it's around 690 / 680 at the engine.

As for the weight, it's our full-dress show car / weekend cruiser, so it has a few extra pounds of bling & creature comforts that aren't going away. I know I could make it faster if I made it into a "real race car", but that isn't my only goal with the car.
