man that is 1 bad azz combo! once you get her dialed in on the launch i think low 10's is possible.

keep us upto date!

Nice video although your camera man could use a tripod. I wish I had some video of my runs. At least I can get some close starting line still pics.

Nice consistant passes however if you were bracket racing I bet the last run would have been a breakout.

got it to work finally, i had to go into Divx and put in your URL and it downloaded. as soon as u launched all i could think of was DAMN HE F'ING HOOKED. that eclipes didnt know what he was runing agains , that was friken sweet. when the Etown opens in the spring i gotta be there more for one seat time and 2 too see how much faster your goin to get and to bs of chorse.

Wow that car is carzy and so is the guy that owns it for staying in it after it did such a huge wheelie. Was that a drag radial car, if so thats even crazier.

What type of exhuast do you run. I'm not sure if you have already said if so I'm sorry. Do you run duals or single?

have any pics of the exhuast?

hey christian, i've got true duals w/dumps (3"flowmaster) on the car right now, but before the spring gets here i'll be running just dynatech collector mufflers on the car. i feel that the exhaust on the car now is holding back some e.t. on me ("choking the car") so i'm trying these collector mufflers to free up some hp. sorry no pic's.


as for traction thats another issue i have. the car cuts 1.50 60's but should be in the low 1.4 "s . the car hooks up o.k. but still has some tire spin so i'm buying a rear sway bar from wolf racecraft, and some bigger e.t. drags, and qa1 shocks and see how that all works. i know the car has low 10's in it with NO problem. this was the 1st season w/ the motor (maybe 15 passes) next season will be much better but over all i'm very happy with the set up.
