got into the 9's!!!!!!!

Well i got into the 9's this past sunday short shifting like hell!! Its an automatic car, but I had to shift at 6500 instead of 7400 due to my fuel system. "holley black with 3/8 fuel line!" "nos has its own fuel system" everytime I would try to shift later it would nose over a little.... I am pleased with the car so far and cant wait for my new fuel system so I can go deeper into the 9's

I only had a 6.48 1/8th mile at 107mph and ended up a 9.98 at 140mph at the end of the 1/4....

car 60ft'd 1.45 and weighed in at 3442lbs....

8 point cage? and 12:1 compression? your car is a all out racer. Are you running pump gas with Nitrous?

Welcome to the 9 second club. Time to work on upgrading your safety equipment, chassis cert. and license now. I just recently bought SFI spec 3.2A/5 jacket and pants ($290) and had my chassis certified last Saturday ($75) just so I can have the privilege to play in the 9 second zone. I still need to get a license yet ($50)!

Alright the new fuel system is working.. I went to our local 1/8th mile on thursday for some tnt.. SInce I am a dumbazz and forgot my 7000 shift light pill I sitll had to shift at 6600. Well the first pass on motor netted me a 6.85@100.82 with a 1.52 60ft!!!! boy was I happy!!!

Then on spray it went a 6.32@105 with a 1.42 60ft.. this was kind of disapponting though I should have gained about 10-12 mph on a 200 shot and at least 8-9ths in an 9th mile. I did go 1.2 tneths quicker but for some reson I did not pick up as much as I should have. I am going to go through my nos setup this weekend and make sure my fp is right and that my kit i working properly. I will update again next week when I go....

On a side note when th car launched in was WICKED!!! I left with both front tires about 2 FEET of the ground! is was bass azz!!

Looking up at the sky on a real hard launch is admittedly pretty durn cool (gets your adrenalin flowin'). You just hope that it isn't heading for the guard rail (or the other lane) when the front end comes back down, and you can see again.

Keep up the good work.

Must be real nice to be able to do that. I cant even think about that here in smoggy So-Cal You are really runnin hard and posting some good times and mph. You said It was nosing over
at the other end, What kind of fuel pressure were you getting goin thru the lights? Hope you didn't lean out the engine to much and damage it
