great runs bro, have to say that you have your car very nicely dialed in to hang through 1st, 2nd, and lot of 3rd. I was impressed to say the least.
For those wanting info - i was around 16/17psi on pump gas & no nos, once i was spooling in 3rd i was starting to pull away strongly, but through 1st & 2nd it was pretty dead even.

My car is approx. 3650 or so pounds w/ the stereo set up & roll bar - so there was about 1k of difference between cars & rhombus was saying he was at 19psi. Very respectable set up he has there now - got my two thumbs up!

Would have like to do a 3rd gear roll run, but will have to save it till next time.

oh ya - as soon as i left kroger and got on 81 a state trooper passed me going in the other direction full radar on & then passed another unmarked trooper by the college entereance on 460. Good thing we were on closed course

Your car is definatly quick. Some very strong runs. Should be hitting the dyno in the next few days for some fine tuning.

Anyone know what 1/4 tracks are still running?

(This may just be my computer, since I vaguely remember this happening before, but I don't think it is)
