Congrats to Rob Mapps, First Pass in the NINES
Well, today was a good day...dialed out a few more issues on the car and finally got her into the NINES!
Running a pretty conservative boost level (26 psi max) the short track got better and 4th gear FINALLY woke up and gave us the MPH we needed.
Here is the catch, Rob wasn't even driving...he let his father drive today (Ralph aka OBD "Old Drivin Bastard") to help dial in and watch the car react from outside.
Ralph drove the $HIT out of this pass and made it happen!
Congrats! Now all we need is a tranny if anyone out there wants to be generous!

Hopefully NYCE1s will post the vid, Julian was there for the pass...I just hope he edits out the part where we were screaming like little girls when we saw the time pop up on the board

Rob you need to get in that car and make pops look bad !
Congrats Rob. Big things are happening and they are only gonna get bigger.
Good stuff on getting some of the bugs worked out and tuning the car Chris.
Once you get that car going 1.5's in the 60' and subs 4's in the 330' the big end will talk.
Sorry I couldnt make it out there guys.
