Default In The 9sec club

I decided to take the firebird to NTR today to see if I got my charge pipe problem fixed. We decided to be conservative being that it would be it's first full pass so we ran wastegate pressure only,"10 lbs springs" the the boost controller at 0. I didn't get a great burnout, it seems that the 2 step is still activating with the line loc. Launched it at 5psi and went tearin down the track. Almost all the way without issue until the belt came off and the msd and fuel pump didn't like that much but it still ran a

R/T .912
60ft 1.443
330 3.942
1/8 6.047
mph 116.22
1000 7.891
1/4 9.500
MPH 136.95

We then tried to salvage what was left of the belt and try it again. This time got a better burnout but then as I was getting ready to run, the car in front of me decided to blow up at the end of the track. Waited for about a half hour or so and blew the tires off and headed for the wall so I had to get out of it. After the first run they said I couldn't run again so we packed it up and went home. I was glad to get a pass in

I heard the other car you raced wasn't GM so you took pity on the guy. But, what would you expect a to say?

Would you please indicate in the future where you might be running this car since you don't like Kil Kare
