It was my second run and on the first run I only ran a 12.6 My windows are %20 tint and it was kinda over cast so maybe they didnt see my passenger? Anyway they did yell at me after the 12.3 run. I ran 3 more times after that all between 12.3-12.48 at 111-113.8

LOL, well at least your passenger got to enjoy a quick run down the 1/4 mile. You'll cut at least another 1/10th of a second off your ET next time you run by yourself. Good luck.

drag racing your car with a passenger and sub box is plain stupid. Why put an extra 200-300 pounds more weight on your drivetrain while launching. Your just asking for something to break. Your car is very fast on pump. Good luck next time, but please take out the friend, sub box, and spare tire before you kill your drive train

Yea I know it wasnt the smartest thing to do. Previously I wasnt that serious of a drag racer, but now with high 11's within reach, I have been bitten by the drag bug

Also was just dynoed yesturday at ams. My baseline was 312 and the tuned it up 330. I'm still on stock intercooler and it was getting a little heat soaked so figure i was down ~5whp at least.
