Well I finally got to take her to the track last night. I'm still trying to work out some of the minor bugs but all and all I would consider it a successful night. One issue I'm having is plug related, I put in the TR6s and just found out tonight that I need to have the BR7s and they need to be gapped much tighter. For those that were asking how much boost, I'm running about 23.5 PSI.

This pass, I had a great 60'. It was so great it scared the piss out of me and I short shifted 1st. Not used to the drag radials hooking like this!

This pass I bogged real hard off the line, but I went ahead and chased down the vette that decide to leave a half a second before the green light. Check out the MPH!

This last pass, the car hooked pretty well, but was sputtering up top (damn pluggs). This is the fasted 1/8th I've ever run. I still beat Jeremy :banana: (j.k. Jeremy you know your my boy)

Tony laid down the turbo V-Rod. He's ok but rashed up pretty good. It might be a couple of weeks before he's back at the track.

Congrats Chris. Your car is definitely nasty. Just a little more getting used to at the track and your next stop is 9.50's. Keep up the great work bro.
