So had the car out last night and all I can say is it was f*cking cold, I believe around 5 deg's. So needless to say with 18's and not being able to do a burn out my traction even with AWD was severely limited in the first couple of gears. I was fighting a miss which I have tracked down to some old plugs. Now on to the good. Slowest pass of the night was a [email protected] Mph. So that was good but I was plagued with high 1.8 and 1.9 60FT's due to not being able to get any heat into my tires. I was just glad to break the 140Mph barrier I'm now the first Import In Alberta to break 130Mph, and the only to break 140Mph. I'm pretty sure also the first to break 100Mph in the 1/8th and the first and only to break 110Mph in the 1/8th. I have a plan to hopefully put some of this excess power down to the track, and I would like to thank my friend Will for fabing me a trick steel replacement Rear Diff housing. I couldn't have gone past the 50Ft mark without it. I still have alot of boost left to play with and all these runs are done off the bottle. I well hopefully post vids later on.

Here is the pass! Watching the video you can here the car spinning into third. Enjoy

5 degrees?!?!? Dam! Great pass regardless of the track conditions. You definitly need slicks. After slicks, you should be in the 9"s! Congrats.

Would you mind sharing your setup?

The car is full interior minus rear seats (cant' use anyway cause of 8 point chrmoly cage), all steel, all glass 3250Lbs. The car runs 18's BF Goodrich tires, with JIC coilovers an Nitrous. I have tuned the car over 40Psi but these passes where done around 30Psi so there is tons left to play with not to mention that 100Shot I have just sitting here.:shhh:
