HOLY CRAP! How the hell do you run 9.56 and only trap 135? Is there more in it? I would assume so with the 140+mph trap speeds if you're already running mid 9s at 135, unless those were with 60' times that were a bit worse?

Thanks

We have some problems with the lower intercooler piping.
But at last we run the event. This is the first time we run the car on the dragstrip with race gas for me is alot better than expected for our first trial.
Next step I have to upgrade the ignition system to resolve some misfire on high rpm, and remove weight from the car.
The only parts we have removed from the cars front and rear bar, top strut bar and the muffler(Injen muffler is to small at that level)
Soon we expect to run better numbers.
