Default 9 Sec test hits in my SS by ICON AUTOSPORTS **Video**

Took the car out to Sealy and made some test hits with the N2O. Made four 1/8 mile passes and One 1/4 mile pass. This was the best pass.



1.30 60ft
3.91 330ft
6.09 1/8 mile
9.57 1/4 mile
139.88 mph


408ci Progessive 200 shot leaving on 60% and ramping to 100% in .8 sec.
Car would not finish the 1/4 due to rev limit, had to lift. Window switch had a 6600 pill in it and rev limit was set at 7000rpm. Spray cut off every gear and banged rev limit,

Thanks goes out to ICON Autosports, Mike Pabone, My brother, and friends that helped at the track. The car is going to run strong when we line out a few things. Hope fully we can hit the 8 sec mark. I have a video but can not get it to the internet.

Once again THANKS to ICON AUTOSPORTS for taking the time to go to the track with us and getting this car down the track.
