We'll have video up soon. Congrats to Eric on some good driving. We're getting everything sorted out on this car and each time it makes a pass I tweak the tune a little and each time we go out something is done to improve the car. We're almost there, just some suspension tuning and playing with tire pressures for track conditions and our 60' time should start dropping.
THis was done with full interior (both seats) and full exhaust. Besides a few driveline troubles we literally check the oil level and add gas to it. Heck, I haven't even changed the plugs since the NOPI race in St. Louis.
The tune has some more left in it, and the plan is to try to run under 9.5 at over 155mph on boost.

Thanks again guys. the 60ft wasnt the best (1.6) and you can tell from the video she spun well into 2nd. there is a slicks only night here on thursday where they get stupid with the VHT. we are going to bring her out there and see if we can knock that time down a bit

VHT is the stuff that makes your shoes stick to movie theater floors..

ok well not. but it feels like it. Its a compound they put down for traction on drag strips, someone else can probably give the technical name.

I will attest that car is hard as hell to launch in drag trim.. I got it right like 2 out of 16 times. Congrats to AMS and Eric for building and piloting the beast.
