Couldn't be happier with the results of the compound setup. Its crazy to think of an idea over a beer about 8 months ago. Talking to Paul Volk and Tyler Hassing about charger size and not needing nitrous and possibility of a stock converter. Well it is now the fastest auto dsm on the stock converter.

Car was consistent all weekend. Saturday it went 9.7(personal best) and 9.8(qualifier). I ended up picking up the 1 qualifying spot in the DSE class. Sunday I made sure the car was shifting properly and got used to leaving on the pro tree.

I happened to get 3 byes in a row a just walked into the semi finals. There were 3 cars left and Cory running the fastest time so far got the bye. I faced Drew Jones in his bad ass 90 Talon supporting a BMW S366. We pitted right next to each other and have been talking all weekend. He started turning the boost up and somehow was lifting his nicely setup head. On this pass he had a chance for a 9. He had the 1/8th mile time and speed to get it. Unfortunately he melted a ground strap on a spark plug and dropped a cylinder at the 1000ft.

The finals were against defending champ and stock block record setting 7 bolt, Cory Bowers in his Evil Tsi. Huge props goes out to Cory for hitting that 10.10 record setting pass and backed it up. In the pits he told me he turned the boost controller up and we were going to see what happened. Unfortunately for him he turned 1/2 turn to far and he hit the AEM boost cut at 40psi. You can see the car break up at the top of 3rd.

This year was a blast. All the competition was top notch guys. Everyone pushed there cars to the limit. Its too bad Tim Zimmer didn't get more runs with his GSX. First round of qualifying ended his shootout as he lifted his head on a 9.9 pass. Next year is going to be nuts. Multiple 9 sec street cars will be running in the class. Look forward to some fast dsm's

A lot of people had a role and all are as important. I am uploading the Finals right now. Cory ripped a SICK 60ft. My brother sucks a videos but ehh its works.
 
Very good work! Congrats!
 
Internet is slow so I will upload more videos when I am at work!
 
Congratulations on the win! I was qualified but could not make the call for eliminations, my alternator relocation bracket cracked in half on my last qualifying pass.

I was wondering why you weren't up there. I have seen some issues with the kits and that is why I made my own.
 
The car looked great and performed even better John! You really have something to be proud of there. Nice work and nice runs. :hellyeah: It was a blast to watch it run! :thumb: :cool:
 
Very nice, do you have a breakdown of the slip?
 
Congrats John! Great driving out there and we're happy to be sponsoring your car, you definitely represented well. I'll post some shots of your car that I took this weekend so everyone can check it out.

We have the full gallery from the weekend on our Facebook page at Fuel Injector Clinic | Facebook for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

These compounds create a ton of water. It looks like my car has a blown turbo sometimes but it is just steam. Thanks for everything FIC. You guys are awesome to work with.
 
Congrats on the win and that's a awesome set up! By stock converter I'm guessing its not even restalled?
 
It was great meeting all of you guys and "trying" to compete in DSE... It was a learning experience for me more than anything, and I'm glad I got the opportunity to race against you BALLERS!

Viperlp01... Your car is amazing and is very consistent. I was really hoping it was going to be Drew and yourself in the finals, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

FIC... Thank you for taking such awesome quality photos during the event. I got some killer shots of my car and it was worth the pictures in itself to compete. These 1650's I run have been flawless and I'm sure I speak for others when I say thank you for supporting our community.


Hopefully next year I will be able to launch the car with more seat time. I'll BE BACK!! Ha..
 
Haha ya man it was good to meet you. All you need is some better 60fts and you will be right up there.

This is a non restalled bone stock converter out of a 2g with 110k miles. I was stuck between converters and decided to get used to the compounds with this TC. Hell it worked out!
