You should have been in the driver seat. I didn't expect it to do that either.
Best times i've had so far is 5.62 at 127 in the 1/8 mile with a best 60' of 1.37 before i got it to hook. did a 1.42 on the wheelie pass with the back tires.​

Steve what is your Rear and Front Suspension SETUP?, pinion angle etc etc, damn that thing is hooking.

 

[BARRACUDA1968]

I can't believe you stayed in it. I would have sh$t myself.

 

[JimP]

Wow, that could have gotten ugly but glad you made it to the other end safely and in one piece!

Rear is baseline suspension kit i just installed.Pinion is about 2 degrees down, strange double adjustable hocks all 4 corners.Fronts are coilovers with TRZ coilover kit and trz lower control arms and stock upper arms with global west bushings.Fab nine rearend with 3.50 gear and spool. I worked at it a year and a half to get it to work.

[steve hughes]

Minor damage. Nothing i can't fix

 

[steve hughes]

Very minor

 

[ttypewhite]

What motor /engine/turbo combo is running 5.62 @ 127 in the 8th? I've always liked following your progress. Keep up the good work.

 

[Wahoo]

That's killer! Nice work

260 "stage II TA heads ,V1 front mount ,Precision 7675 cast wheel 76 4 bolt turbo, PTC convertor, 400 turbo, 3.50 gear, She weighs about 3300 with me on board. I'm running a local limited 8.5 class. No boost controllers or traction control allowed. I think it'll go 5.40's now that it hooks if i can get it under control.

What are the limits on boost control? No AMS/Boostleash/etc?? or nothing at all?

There are a couple things you can set up to help control launch etc, without an AMS.
