LOL he told me about it and I just kinda smiled and said.. "Kelly knows his stuff"
This car desperately needs BMR springs all around. Rumor has it that car was leaving wheels up last night...
Matt--confirm?

Hey guys sorry for the delay. Been running rampant latley.
So yes HUGE shout out to bmr tech for pointing out my retardedness. I had indeed completely forgot to cut the bump stops on the car. So armed with new shocks and super secret suspension tune up. Headed to the track.
First pass down the track. Bumped launch timing to 17 degrees. It leaves HARD. lifts the wheels About a foot off the ground and carries them 50 feet and sets them down nice and easy.. cuts a 1.34 60'. I was hanging on for dear life and pulled a dumb dumb move and forgot to pull 2nd gear and smashed the shit out of the Rev limiter. Grabbed 2nd and because I'm now all messed up in the head I short shift 3rd and ride out to a 9.02 @ 155
So i gathered my thoughts and went around again and went 1.35 60' hit all my gears but only went 9.01... was like wtf. So I looked at the log and when I let go of the trans brake it hit the driveline so hard it set off the knock sensors and yanked all my timing.
at this time I get a talking to from the track official about running 9.0 with no cage and get told please don't come back without a cage. But they were nice and let me finish the night. So...
3rd pass. Raised timing To 20 on the launch and it instantly blew the tires at the line.
Went back around and dropped the front shocks from 5 to 3 and this time it left but did a spinning while moving thing. So the 8s continue to elude me but it's making huge strides...
Time for a cage and a chute... AND....I'm eyeballing this 4.25 pulley I have sitting here... maybe 3 more psi is in store.
Video on its way

Seat and track time will get the car where it needs to be as it currently has the power for it.
.02 isn't far to go so you'll get it!

For sure.... but you know how it is... it's NEVER enough...lol
congrats man!
Well huge thanks to kelly at bmr suspension. ... The jungle gym is now complete. Added the drag launch springs, lca relocation brackets, and panhard bar. Switched front tires to 28 tall instead of 26, and Also did super secret anti roll bar mod
Oh and dropped pulley size on blower from 4.5 to 4.25.... thinks should get interesting tomorrow at the track!!!!

Awesome build! :rockon:

They are under the car the whole way...and no issues so far....
what did it run????
He's talking about his latest run with the smaller pulley and different tire setup. The 9.01 was last week.
Can you post a pic of your lower pulley? I run a F1-C with cog belt and broke my crank recently. i think the leverage on the end of the crank is just too much for the crank to handle for very long.
Updates on pics & ET's please!
Sorry for the delay guys...I have a big update coming. Just have not had any time at all!!
Currently the car is registered in modular muscle for nmra weekend and I'm currently number 3 qualifier. Tomorrow is eliminantions. Wish me all luck lol
Then i can give this thread a solid upday.
