Default 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.

thanks. ive been 7's a bunch of times. hell ive been 6's a bunch times. but for some reason im more excited about doing it with this car. due to me building the engine and doing all the tuning. and it will get 28mpg on the interstate and has a/c. to me thats just cool.
