Yeah, I'd say you're making a bit more hp than stock

.
BTW, what was the 60' on that run? Looked like you had some issues driving it out of the hole.
Question; what is your fuel delivery system from pump to intake.

Weird how the track looks wicked short in that video. Good camera man I guess

Dang thats fast. I wanted to his 135mph this season, but the frame broke on the car and I had to buy another body. By the time I got it back together, season over.

They tend to look that way when he's covering the 1/4 in the same time that most of us take to run 1/8...

What's up with that soft launch? For the first 10 feet it looks like your typical 13 second street car...... then it just goes apesh1t after that, of course. It looks to me like your 8.99 run is waiting for you in the first 10 feet.
