I don't know if you can take any more out. Mike gutted that like a fish. lol
I'm glad you guys liked Tri-State. I love that track for drag racing. They really don't care what is out there racing, they will prep a track to make sure people keep coming back.

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
Yes, it was easily the best track experience we have ever had. All the workers were cool as hell.
They were kind of strict when we ran a 9, but that was to be expected.

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
We have a few ideas on how to get it about 150lbs lighter, but they all cost money.
I think our dilemma right now is whether we should power our way into a lower time, or take weight out to get there. The motor LOVED the 75shot.
We would have power numbers to post............but as soon as nitrous hits the tires are up in smoke.

Your drivetrain will be much happier if you lower the weight. It may take you deeper in the 9's before you just can't keep anything from breaking. |

Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph
Carbon fiber, Lexan, Jenny Craig, and a dremel will get you into the 8's
Oh fill the tires with helium... DUH I can't believe I almost forgot that.
