So 2 weeks ago I tried to get some times on my new setup but the tree was down. We waited for like 3 hours to race. Instead of calling it off they asked if we wanted to do it "Pinks" style and have them flag us off. We were all like hell yeah....after 3 hours. Sheesh!!!
Anyway, just posting a couple of vids. Didn't get any times of course but I'm sure I was doing better. Got the stutterbox going and launching at 5k rpm on my slicks....fwd. Killed everyone outta the hole. Even the awd cars. 1st was a Camaro that runs 7.7's in the 1/8th like me (last time we ran). He was on a 75 shot when we both ran 7.7's. This time he had a 150 shot. He barely got the win on me.
2nd car was a Mustang. While we were sitting in the staging lanes the owner looks over and says, "Don't beat me too bad", with the smart cocky attitude. I laughed and said, "Uh, okay." He said he runs mid 6's but I almost handed him his ass. Dunno if he's really running 6's in the 1/8th cause I know he had to run me down. Of course I'm sure he didn't think I was very fast either though. Never saw him after the race so dunno what his reactions were.
Racing again tomorrow night, after installing some FP2 cams and tuned at 25psi on 93 octane. Hoping for some good et's. It's pulling strong. But here's the 2 vids I have from 2 weeks ago. Enjoy. Hope you can hear my turbo. Lol. My exhaust is like maybe less than 2 feet long.

That's some weight savings there as well and no back pressure. No stock O2 sensor, just use the wideband.
