finally got 7's on motor

ive been 7's on the bottle. but this feels so much better on motor. i wasnt this excited when i went in the 6's with my old car. of course im talking 1/8 mile. but i have tuned and built this car myself and i feel like ive completed an awesome goal. now im going to drop a few lbs and see where i can go.

it went 7.92 @ 88.2 mph with a 1.75 60ft

it also went 8.03 @88.8 mph with a 1.86 60ft.
