That was Sean's caprice. We didn't get too many runs to play with it. We did one run on the 100 shot and it went 12.3 @110 then we upped the jets to a 150 shot and it ran a 12.03 @113 still spinning the 28" ET Streets off the line. First outing on the bottle so he is going to do some tweaking and we are shooting for an 11.8-11.7 next month.

Mike's Formula run was making my 12.9X runs seem slow.

Hey Mike, congrats on the nice runs! Where's the other videos at? Are you going to be posting those up as well?

Nitrous is working well just some other fine tuning and traction issues to work out. Were you out there on Friday?

No but I was at top gear a few weeks ago with AZDG helping out (kinda) with the cam swap on that blue 04. I remember you guys having some trouble with the 100 shot, pretty sick ride though! I'm a big fan of the blue interior boats

Ah okay... so the mod day for John's car... I was wondering how you had the inside info. Which car was yours? The culprit ended up being the fuel pressure safety switch. Which Nic actually suggested checking out. Once we bypassed it our solenoid pulsating issue was gone. Sean's car is a clean boat for sure.

At least you were getting some nice times out there. I wasn't having much luck. Street tires FTL.

Track prep was awesome and so were the lines, virtually non existent. Get that 60' down in the 1.8 range and you're in the 12's easily

Boy that launch would be fun. Never got better than a 2.0 with my current tires and that was when they were brand new. I need to save up some money though if things are going to improve.

Yeah I heard nic say something about that. I was checking out the car for a little bit but I didn't wanna get in your guys' way. I was driving my white buick, no goat for me.

I was out there as well and wanted to say hello but I just always saw your car in the lanes when I was lined up. Was your plate "NOT A TA"? I was also on street tires and was pulling a 2.0 sixty and luckily was still running a 12.9. Little bit different launching mine that is a stick. I also wish I had some better tires on that night to pull a better time or possibly a new personal best.
