Default Couple of runs last night

Went out last night looking for trouble and found a little. I had 2 runs, one with a 6.1 Challenger and one against a newer model Sti.

The Challenger wouldn't slow down below 60, so we went from there. I pulled steadily but slowly til we hit about 110. I had a little over half a car when he got out of it. He didnt want to talk at the light, so I have no idea if he was modded or not. It was lowered though and had aftermarket wheels.

I came across the Sti and finally got next to him on the freeway. He slowed down to about 50, and we went. I had a car and a half on him when we shut it down at 120. I'm not too familiar with those cars, so I have no idea what year it was. It was the newer body style, and it had quad exhaust tips. It had the Sti badge on the rear end on the passenger side. After the race I got off the hwy but he didnt so I have no idea if it was modded either.

The cams really woke my car up on the top end. Right before I got them I ran another 6.1 Challenger from about 70 and got steadily pulled on.

Good kills man! I'm glad to see a n/a 3v doing some damage. How much power are you expecting to put down?

It put down 361hp at last dyno I had it on, but it had a bad plug. I'm going to be taking it down to San Antonio for a dyno tune here soon and I'll know exactly what it puts down.

Nice kills. Looks like a pretty solid combo you've got there. Do you have tires to hook that power out of the hole?

Yeah, I've built it more for racing from a dig than roll racing.

I dont run DRs, but I do have 255s on the back.

Wow. You're hooking NON drag radial 255s with a 4.10 gear? That's impressive. Seriously.
