New Best ET 8.66@140 mph Well I finally made it to the track and ran a full pass.
60' 1.404
1/8 5.564 130.29 mph
1/4 8.66 141.11 mph
The car feels STRONG!!! I have some tuning to do, suspension. I'm leaving at 1/4 throttle, not wanting to build too much boost. I'm going to hook up the 2 step. The mph is down because I had to hit the brakes before the finish line
. The car started to drift so I hit the hooks! I have to strap the front end down, the car is going down the track like a boat, the front end is too high "lifting". I only made three passes before tech caught up with me. 6 point roll bar, fire suit, batt shut off, ect!
I'm happy for the second time at the track. The first time I had the wrong gears and the tires were rubbing. I only got to make 2 passes.
Anyways, thanks again to all the guys a Speed Inc. Tom, Jim, Dan and Larry
They are a great bunch of guys to deal with. I'm really happy with the set up!!!! Not only does the kit look good but it GOES 
.
Special thanks to Jim for putting up with my 10 million questions!

That car is really a runner. It usually takes a long time to put up that kind of number even if the car has the power. I've seen it take a season for some guys before all the stars are aligned (suspension, gear, converter, launch technique, etc.). You must be very happy.
