I finally made it to the track last night. Overall I think the car has more potential. But for the first time out in 2 1/2 years I was happy with the outcome. Here are the numbers (1/8th mile)

1st Pass (Nervous as ****) :

7.97
1.806 60'
83.10 mph

2nd

7.38
1.753 60'
98.66 mph

7.16
1.601 60'
97.62 mph

7.13
1.633 60'
97.51 mph

7.13
1.64 60'
100.11 mph

 

Good stuff, I've always liked 1/8 mile

 

Nice 60'!

 

Nice....

 

Nice 60' for sure! Gay *** 1/8th mile though.

 

That's all we have here in So Cal (1/8th mile track)

 

Very nice. How much power was that 450-500?

 

Nice man. Keep at it.

 

Bakersfield...

They do TnTs almost every other weekend and Friday night drags are coming up.

 

sick car.love it..

 

Is this car tuned by erick? I would keep a close eye on the tune. I melted a valve the next day after leaving his shop. I called him asking what could cause this without telling him who i was and first thing he say's " bad tune"..

 

10's are in your future trip to the 1/4!

 

[QUOTE=92redhatch;48722735]Very nice. How much power was that 450-500?[/QUOT

Just a little over 500hp...

 

I personally would have asked him. Especially the next day.

Erick has built all my motors and tuned them as well and I've never had a problem.

**** breaks don't get me wrong, but that comes with the sport.

 

I found this link on the car on 04/25/2013 -

Please elaborate or explain why the 1/8th mile is "gay?"

 

Are you running 9.5" wide slicks?

 

No, at least not yet.

Budget only permitted 24.5 X 8.5 MT

Car hooked pretty good.

 

ERE built a couple of motors for me in the past and I had no issues. He knows B-series. I don't know of his K-series experience, but I'm sure he has mastered it. The only issue I have with Erick is, he is turbo now......

I just stumbled on this old post of mine and i can say the car has continued to exceed my expectations.

Best 1/8th mile has been 6.68 @ 118mph with a 1.62 60ft

1/4 Mile has been 10.46 @ 138mph

Broken my right hand on 02/09 - since then I've dumped the 13x8.5 M&H tire and 13x8 V2 Wheel and went with an Exospeed 13x9 wheel and NEW 13x9.5 M&H tire. Hoping to improve the 60 ft and make the car hook.
