Nice work, from the video it looks like the car has alot left in it. Seems to me that it did the 10.9@130 fairly easy.

Good runs, but doesnt that MPH seem incredibly low for the power and mods of this vehicle? I would think 140mph+ AT LEAST.

having the parts don't guarantee those kinds of traps...if you think it's easy, give it a try

Guarantee? No. But hell, with 700whp on tap the TRAP should be UP there if you have even a half-*** driving ability. Its not flying an airplane, its 3 shifts with the gas pedal nailed. ET.. absolutely I agree... traps not so much, especially with that sort of incredible power being made. People running 10psi less on smaller turbos with stock motors can do that, I just feel Id be incredibly disappointed with that. What if someone with a 35R went 120mph on meth... wouldnt we all be saying.. uhh no good

true, didn't think about it till you said that. it is a heavy car, but I would expect it to trap a decent amount higher

could be becuase the 2.3 if hes just riding 4th out til 8200 and then coasting the rest, I would assume that would kill the trap down.

no bench racer here, I dont think anyone said it was easy, just you would expect a 700hp car to trap quite a bit higher. I know my car traps almost that on pump, and my setup isn't anywhere as nice as Steve's

like I said, having the parts doesn't mean you're going to get 140mph + traps...we've already discussed the fact that he bogged the launch

Yeah, its not even that heavy though, EVOs are typically 3200-3400 with driver.

I mean I went 118mph with 378whp. We are talking more than 300whp EXTRA and only trapping 12mph more. A 500whp car should be able to trap 127-130mph and MANY 35R EVO pump/meth cars are doing it.

We are talking about a FULLY BUILT 2.3, PORTED HEAD, 37R on RACE GAS and 40psi... this is not a mild setup.

right, bogging probably took off a few mph, but 130 is a bit low even for bogging the launch. Bogging a launch kills the ET badly
