Made it out to the track for a rsd event (real street drags). Got to play around with the dynateks 2 step instead of ecmlinks and it works soooooo much better! The night didn't start off to good. While doing my first run my power transistor plug came loose and the car died in 3rd gear. Got that issue figured out and went up to make a pass. It was decently clean but bounced off the rev limiter going into second.

60' 1.42
1/8 E/T 6.44
1/8 mph 109.46
1/4 E/T 10.003 <---- so close!
1/4 mph 138.93

I was really happy with that 60' but decided to up the 2 step from 4300 to 4400 and go again.

60' 1.41
1/8 E/T 6.25
1/8 mph 111.64
1/4 E/T 9.76
1/4 mph 140.60

I was not expecting that!!! I made one more pass to back up that run

60' 1.41
1/8 E/T 6.27
1/8 mph 111.62
1/4 E/T 9.78
1/4 mph 141.15

All runs were at 35-36psi. I think on a track with better prep so it won't spin out of the hole and some more boost I think I might get a 1.3X 60' and a mid 9 second pass!! Car is probably around 3150lbs race weight. Car still sits exactly the same minus tires as it did last weekend when I drove it 200+ miles! A true 9 second street car! The bad news is the only video I have is from my buddy's phone and it basically only shows it getting out of the hole.

Another 9 sec street driven DSM!!!!! VERY NICE! I'm super stoked for you kp116....The 60ft's look really nice. Get some footage next time:)
 
Congrats on the 9s passes! Very consistent 60' and that MPH is good for mid 9s.

I might have to swap over to auto next year. :)
 
VERY WICKED!!!!! Post up some pics. Those are hella nice 60 fts. Must feel like riding on a rocket. Keep up the great work and push it even further.
 
Congrats man! Please tell me someone got it on video!
 
Congrats again Kenny!!! Very good night- hopefully me and Brian didn't embarass you too much :p

I knew you had 9's this year, but 9.7 and 140+ was very :hellyeah:
