Not very happy...*video*
Well, me and Stangpower made it out to the track yesterday, along with a million other people. I got in 3 runs in 3 hours. Let's just say, I need more track time....
Car will run 8.0's or better the way it sits, just gonna take a couple more trips to the track. On the run in the video, I spun pretty badly, and I hit the rev limiter THREE times. My speedo was way off. I'm guessing b/c of the 15lbs air in the tires. Also, that was stalling to about 2k rpm's then just rolling into the throttle.

If you'd have seen my first run, you'd know why I was happy. Guys running similar 1/8's on LS1tech are going mid 12's, so I'm not too disapointed. At least Stangpower has confidence in me....

Ran the boy with the EVO on the way back home from a 50 kick....his EVO is badass! Put about 2 cars on me to 100mph. I'd have a better chance from a dig. He dyno'd 310awhp with bolt ons and cam gears.

RE: Not very happy...*video*
That's the only run he got on tape....you didn't miss anything, trust me. If we'd have got to make one more pass everyone thought it'd go 8 flat.
There were TONS of imports there and TONS of those junior dragsters. The junior dragsters are the ones who sound the worst IMO.
The guy I ran on my second run had like a whole damn team with him. They would push his hatchback through the staging lanes and all. Started it up and had a laptop hooked up to read what it was doing. He ran a 9.9....it was funny.

Well you have to get another one made and lets see the ending. Seeing the numbers light up would be nice.

MD, that was one of the worst pass's posible. I spun like a SOB and hit the limiter once going into 2nd and twice going into 3rd. I'd bet money the car runs 7.90's. Hell, you seen my burnout...if you can call it that.
My first pass was a VERY traction limited 9.4, then a crappy 8.5, then a crappy 8.2. So, three passes and 1.2 seconds difference. It'd only get better.
