1,144rwhp (spiked to 24psi and held steady at 20psi).

Run it that high and see if you can get low 8 or high 7. It will be fun and challenge.

Wow, that's one hell of a car. It's interesting to watch the progression of this car over the years. It makes me think how can they out do themselves after this?

Hey guys, car looked great, love the low stance on the car. Congrats on the new best mph. Did you guys continue to run T/S, I saw the first pass and then it looked like Dan got out of line... We had to run.

yes they had traction issues all weekend long, they were on a mt drag radial. But the mph speaks for the power!!

I believe on one of the pass's they left the line spun bad got out of it got back in just in time to shake or wheel hop the tires, and still went 9.0 at 159!!!!

p.s. jim next time you wake me up TWICE! i'll kill you.

yes those #'s are correct it went 159 twice once on a 2.20 60' and once on a 1.84 60' the first one it spun the tires terribly i had to pedel it 5 or 6 times then run it out to get some data log info the 2nd time it hooked then 30' out it tire shook really bad so i had to lift again.The only semi-good pass all weekend was a 1.43 60' time(terrible)125.66 in the 1/8th and 8.93@161.26mph......and i weighed the car on their scales w/me in it,it was 3750 so right around 3510 w/o me

Yeah, traction isn't quite where we wanted to be but I was happy with the 161mph at 3,750 with 22psi boost.

After the 1st run in true street the car was dripping some coolant so we pulled out. Looks like it just came from the cap (and their was nothing in the overflow). It sucked, but better safe than sorry.

And the car has BS3 with 96lb injectors at 58psi base pressure. Inj dc was around 90% on the 161mph run.
