always knew it could do it
Finally in the 5s in the 1/8..
KP, I'm so glad to see you're picking up some speed with your new mods. I know you've often kicked yourself for jacking with your mild setup than ran so well last year. It's nice that all your hard work this year with exhaust, cam and other upgrades has paid off. Every time I think I want to go turbo, you keep pulling me back to a Procharger, LOL.

The DA calculator always said the car would run 5.87 @ 117-118 at sea level with the new cam/exhaust and it was 960' yesterday so it still corrects to that same number. Even though I knew it would run better in better weather its sometimes sucks to sit and wait..
David,
I have no plans at all, maybe take out 200lbs or so and do a better intercooler and try for 8s next year with a D1/346. Its paid for if anything
'Bout damn time!
Congrats, I bet you are feelin' pretty good about now. I ran a 6.74 in the 1/8 today, I can't imaginehow fast 5.9 must feel. I honestly think I would **** myself.....

Congrats KP. Your car is a perfect example of a car with well matched parts, and great setup. There are many cars with a lot more money in them that don't run as well. Well done.

Your car has always been fast to me, I'm more impressed after watching the vids. Damn that car launches nice and smooth, no drama, perfectly level. Sounds wicked going down the track. You have done some nice chassis/gearing/converter tweaking!

I think you tuning and caring for the engine properly makes us look good. Nice to see you having so much fun with it.
