Thanks. I already have a 2 step, and slicks aint happening. haha, I've done the , let try to milk every bit of ET out of it, thing in the past, and it's not fun for me. I'd rather try to go as quick as I can just the way I drive on the street. If I got a 1.5 60' at richmond, MIR should be bad ass! haha once I figure out why I'm down on power, I should be knocking on 9's.

The silver GT is forged bottom end, auto, centri blower combo. I got him before the 1/8. haha he went 7.13 @ 97.78 and I went 7.00 @ 105.9.

I could tell it was close at the 1/8, but the angle of the track to the camera made it difficult to make out who was ahead.

I've never ran at Richmond, but MIR def hooks well...better 60's to come. Get the 60' down to the 1.30's and figure out why your power is "down" and yeah, the 9's are there.

Eww.. could you see it on the dyno curve or do you think its doing it after fatigue?


Either way man, 10s in a pump gas dd. Ballin

Did I claim to? No. I guarantee a c6 z06 is cheaper than what the OP has in this project.
