Default went to the track..

Well my car has seen its share of drama with multiple optis going out and motor issues..

last night I ran an 8.0 at 88 mph with a horrid 60 foot (1.899) my mods are--

longetube pacesetter coated headers, offroad Y pipe, dynomax bullet muffler, 1.6 rr, dual valve springs,58mm tb, ported intake , slightly ported heads, ported maf, k&n cai, cc306 cam,

bottom end is stock compression but is forged and balanced(355) ... Ram hdx clutch, stock flywheel... And it has the little things but i dont assume it would help performance

tuned by a local guy named buck with tunercat.. wot stays between 13.3-13.8..

This was my first time at the strip with this car modified and first time using slicks so i really never got the hang of the burnout until the end of the night but by that time it was sprinkling


btw: i did beat a mustang gt (2001) on a 125 shot one time

Congrats on the times man! I happy to see you got some good runs out of it with no problems. With some more seat time you should hit some 7s out of it!

thanks! thats what im thinking maybe get a 7.9 or a glory 7.8 pass then spray a 125 shot and get mid/ low 7s which would be in 11s in the 1/4 i guess... that'd make me happy

Thats what i am hoping out of my car when it goes back together. You get the 60 down and it will pick you up! I went from 7.70s on a 1.7sixty to 7.40s on a 1.6sixty what a difference it makes on the sixty! With the nitrous your car should roll out.
