Since the first time I stepped on it with a Brenspeed CAI/tune installed 2 yrs ago.


I'm pretty stoked about my upcoming supercharger install.
All doubts, second-guessings, and fears washed away by seeing a video of my car on youtube.

Second time at the track today; this time around with the Paxton on:
12.81s @ 113mph 1/4mi. after a few 14's because of rookie mistakes. It seems that with 430+rwhp and street tires, you have to avoid the waterbox like the plague. I was getting absolutely NO traction at all. It's a miracle I didn't end up in a wall. The guy that installed the supercharger was with me on the event. He noticed the waterbox problem crappy times and recommended that I bypass it completely. I even beat a small Datsun rotary race car next to me on that run.

Pure bliss!

Cool....lots of fun!! I would get some slicks on the rear next time out....you would probably drop at least a half sec or more.

Avoid it OR do a mini burn out.. I know it's useless with street tires, but I always do a burn out since the water box is pretty much unavoidable at my track...

I love that video. Hadn't seen it in a few years.
