I am very pleased that I finally got to see a taste of what the car can do. I want to thank my Dad first and foremost for helping me put the combo together. He picks the parts, I pay and do the wrenching and the tunning. I set the boost on the street with my radial tires the night before. It was pretty cool out and datalogged a 3rd gear pass at 27psi. I put on the slicks and C16 in it and packed it up. Today my buddy and I went up. I launched it at 20 psi and hooked a 1.37 sixty foot (what a rush). It went 4.053 at the 330, 6.310 in the 8th and ran 9.94@135mph at 25.5psi. It touched 26 in top gear, I usually run 29 to 30 but you only get one shot at the brass ring. Then I got shut down for running 9's. I also have to thank Martin at NASH Engines for building me a shortblock that has lasted 8 years of beatens and still going. I am going to take off these tires and put on my street tires and take the family out for ice cream. I will post the video soon when my buddy emails me the footage.
