Congrats man. feels good to finally hit a big goal huh. your a 60' away from a 11.1 -11.2 man. next time out hit the 1/8 a few time to gage your 60'. If you start hitting good 60's and 7.0-7.2 in the 1/8" give it hell man. Id hate to see you get the boot for a 11.49 lol. make it count man.

You shoulda seen me go against this big blue turbo diesel truck. She had a 729whp sticker. I was like, "damn am I really running a 700 horse truck?" She ran a 11.71 and I ran a 11.78. I only won cause of my top end. That truck was filthy fast man. I talked to her after the run and she said she is in the upper 700 whp range now. That sticker was old.
joking a bit, good job buddy

I havnt been back to the drag strip since last summer when i ran my 12.78 but i was lightly tuned on stock boost with just a TBE...I cut a 1.7 60'ft so I had a pretty decent launch...prolly because I was running up against a STI with a GT30R haha he missed a ****ft but still ran a 12.81 haha...I need to go back and see what i can run now that ive added boost and retuned and im hoping to possibly throw my injectors in and retune for E85 before July...im liking your numbers with the FP Red tho im planning on picking one up here sometime towards the end of summer or early fall

A lot of getting a good time in drag racing seems to be mainly on the driver. If you can land a sick 60' you will end up getting a good ET. So definitely, trying to get a good time one needs to work on the launch and shifting fast. Lots of big hp cars have very good trap times but bad overall 1/4 ET when the driver just doesn't have enough practice.
