Spark Tech sponsored 4g63 Dragster goes 7.39@176

We were recently contacted by the father and son, Niemczyk team. They were experiencing some ignition misfires at 46psi with their previous ignition combination. They were unable to make clean passes above that boost level. We are able to assist by supplying them with our Spark Tech sequential drag system.






Today at only 51psi right off the trailer, they laid down a blistering 7.39@176 - a new personal best ...They are going to be leaving the boost/tune the same for the next pass, as he has to make another sub 7.50 pass for his advanced et license. Then they will turn the wick up a bit more....Stay tuned as we are getting updates from track side


Their previous track outing was at the E-town showdown event, where they ran 7.79 @ 171mph.

We would also like to give recognition to their other sponsors : Extreme PSi, Kiggly Racing , AEM & Fuel Injector clinic - who have assembled a really amazing looking machine!

Craig i think we need a video of this machine making a burn out or at least going down he track, to spice up this thread.

Craig your ignitions dont fail to serve this sport, keep up the good work.

Here is an update from Tony and Team at track side

"Second pass was a 7.47 at 175. It spun off the line some and the air got a lot worse. Were in the lanes for the next pass now. Not going too crazy because the track is getting greasy.


Thanks Tony for the constant updates as the action unfolds
