Thanks! I got a bit of the bug seeing how easy it was to go this fast with the car. Now I’m hoping I can run DEEP into the 9s at closer to 160

Did you ever change up your rear brakes, so you can switch over to 15's when you want to go drag racing?

Nope this was done on a 18" drag radial. After seeing how fast it went i'll probably just stick with this. I figure I can get the car "deep" in the 9s, and drive it to/from the track. I cant ask for much more than that.

Yeah your trap is already there.

Hurt the diff doing this (power related, didn't even wheel hop).

Got 9s and at over 150. New diff went in last week. Upgraded to 35 spline and a strange HD Pro case.

I don’t know jack about drag racing, but that car is gorgeous and the in-car camera made it look like it was running fast but so smooth. Like, super smooth for a run in the 9s!

Thanks! Still figuring out the launch and left the power “low” until I learn to drive it a bit better.

I’m hosting a series of private track events next year with cars and coffee type meets if anyone is interested in coming out.

I hope next time I can add some power and maybe see mid 9s!

yeah brother!!! Nice shake down

Glad the axles held up enough, so you could get a pass in! Too many times the axles would just snap and you get that famous push back behind and to the side of the water box.

Did you get data from your run? Sounded like you could've ran her harder. Glad you finally got out there and let er' eat.

I was really late to the update. I don't know why I don't notice new reads in this section, but keep on posting
