Default another 9sec lt1

def has more left in it. Still leaving on footbrake and no boost, had tractions problems before this was first time out with better tires and resolved suspension issues. I was still scared to use T/B and leave off boost cuz i trailered the car 2 hours to the track and didnt want to waste the oprotunity.
the belt started walking off the blower when i shifted to 3rd so i lost about 3-4mph on the top end but i think i'm going to slap a little smaller pulley on it and head back out to the track in 2 weeks with cooler air not the 80degree heat i ran yesterday.
60ft 1.52
1/8 6.09@118
1/4 9.48@144mph

yeah i gotta scan it though, but i'm not worried about it, i will post a video after november 4th. Should hit low low 9s, possibly a majical number all depends on what kind of power we get out of it this week and if it hooks on trans brake, low 1.3 60ft and another 50-70rwhp on a cool day i think it can be done but i guess we'll see.
