Default 7.95 @ 174

We took the car out friday night for the secound time. We decided to turn the boost up to 20lbs over 15lbs where we had it last weekend. We 60' the car twice and then decided to air it out to see where we were on this boost level. First 1/4mile pass on this car she went 7.95 @ 174 with a 1.29 sixty and went 5.16 through the 1/8 mile. The customer was pretty pleased to say the least. So we decided to head to a TT5 race saturday. When we got there we decided to play with the launch boost aswell as ramp it in alot quicker then the night before. The car stayed on the bars over 200ft out and drifted towards the wall so I had to pedal it to get the front end down. We never got to make a full pass because the front end would not come down. We still made it to the semi's so it wasnt a bad race in all. We will work on the suspension this week and try and take it back out this weekend for some testing. I will try and post some vids later today. Also wanted to thank Madman for his bad *** suspension components, this car wouldnt be leaving like it does without them.
