Default LSX Turbo Project First Passes Inside

Well we finally got to make a couple passes this weekend. We only made two test passes before we entered a stock suspension class. We ended up Qual #6 out of 24 cars with a 5.41 and made it to the semi finals but blew the tires off at the hit. Car went 5.30 @ 139mph on its 5th pass. This car is running very well for the boost levels we ran it at. We will take it out again next weekend for another True Ten Five race, this time we will turn the boost up a little bit. Here are a couple vids, the first vid shows us up against the #1 qual in the secound round of eliminations, it felt good taking him out and sending him all the way back to California.

The distributor on the front gives it away as a FAST system.
