MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
 

Well it was more like we battled our way into the 9's with a story of broken axles and nitrous oxide lol. I would go into more detail, but since I haven't slept in over 24 hours I will have to give you the short and sweet version for now.

Awesome times! I would think you can get into mid 9's, but perhaps next time. What's the next event?

Awesome job guys. Keep up the good work. Mid 9's a possibility?

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
 

Congrats, guys. Hard work pays off. Can't wait to see this thing in person.

Traction wasn't an issue, but pulling a good 60' seemed to be.

On the 9.92 pass we did a 1.7x(I think it was a high 1.7) 60'.

The car should EASILY be a mid 9 car, but we were having issues all day long with getting it out of the hole. First it broke, then it bogged, then it broke, then we did some nitrous pussy foot shakedown passes, and then the final pass Kyle tried to free rev it to launch, but still no where near a good 60' for 4 drag radials on a sticky track.

Kick ass guys, gratz! Let us know when you guys are heading out next time! It might get my ass to come too :D

Nice job guys. Seems like your the only shop in the area that has actually been able to do something other than produce high dyno #'s.

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
 

Very nice.

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
 

Congrats guys! Im glad you had a good turn out after the broken axles incident, Rock on keep it up! Keep on Dippin down! (I wanna see 8s by next weekend :D)

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
 

Nice work boys! Keep putting the numbers down, looking good!

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
 

COngrats guys, big props! How did you like the Track? I hope thiey still do a solid job of prep.

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
 

Very sweet!!

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
 

Nice job guys!

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
 

I know you guys really wanted high 8s, I hope you can figure out what was keeping you back. I would have expected a much greater inprovement (10.14 to a 9.92) for all the money spent.

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
 

Good job to all of you, that is badass.
Congrats, I can't wait to see where you are going to be by the time the shootout gets here.

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
 

Awesome guys, congrats!

An 8 second pass is more like a dream at this point lol. As we found out yesterday improvements in regards to ET at this level are not easy. But we know what's holding us back and that is the drivetrain. After breaking TWO rear axles within the first three passes we figured out that we couldn't even use our new drag radials. In fact we may have went faster on our old street radials!
