Finally got her down the track...

60' ~ 1.937

1/8 ~ 7.493 @ 103.13

1/4 ~ 11.317 @ 130.17

So its pretty obvious that I can't get it out of the hole, but for my fifth time down the track in an awd car I guess you can't ask for much.

I want to thank everyone that helped with the car up until this point. Kyle "ghetto" Nelson who built it from the ground up with me, Kevin Johnson who helped me tune the thing just before track time, Mike at QPR for his last minute welding (once again lol), and also Elite for letting me use their dyno after hours to sort out the several problems we had getting it running right. Also anyone else I may have forgot, thanks for the help!

She's still got a lot more left in her...

Awesome to hear. Is it running pretty good otherwise?

Gratz Chris! It sounds like you guys found some more power than when it was on the dyno. Are you heading over to RF on the 27th or 28th? I might be over there doing some shake down runs with the new setup on the 27th.

It's actually running very well, we didn't break or even touch the car besides to check the oil for that matter. we did have some major problems prior to norwalk which we finally got worked out through some street tuning. I think the power level still might be a bit low for the boost we were running, but I know the tune isn't as good as it could be. Plus the stock head and intake manifold don't help lol.

As far as Rock Falls, I am considering going and trying to get into the 10's, but without a cage I probably won't get more than 2 attempts...

Just back out of it if the launch isn't that good. I will probably be doing the same thing. Or you can roll 2' through the lights, wait a few seconds, then launch it.

didn't rock Falls change it to 11.4 before you need a cage? or 130mph?

I think since most people seem to have trouble running good times at the rock. You'll probalby get quite a few attempts at it.

Wish you all the best of luck. My car looks like it'll be running for Moroso import nationals this weekend. But won't be tuned or broke in. 500miles is a hell of alot around this area. If I had like 4 days more I could do it. But 1 day isn't enough

Hop on 95 and head north! Yeah, RF is 11.49 before you need a cage.
