USP Evo New Best MPH.. 154.32mph..

Well we drove to OSW hoping to get some better traction than our local track moroso.. Temp was in the 60's which was nice but tires were cold.. 1st pass car spun real hard and pulled 1.65 60ft and went 9.63@154.32mph.. Not a bad pass for a shakedown on the new turbo but we couldnt make a 2nd pass.. we had issues with the accessory belt tensioner and couldnt find another one in time to run again. I guess thats it for us this year.. thank god the track reopens Jan 2. 08'.. Well be there!!!

I was wondering how you made out, glad you posted Moroso was empty tonight and the RS looks promising. Talk with you soon and congrats.....

yeah trust me i cant wait to stick some 1.4's like i used to on my old setup.. We havent had time to get the car on the corner balance scales yet and play with the suspension either.. im sure once we can get a little time to play with things ill be able to get the car back down in the low 1.4's..

I run JIC coilovers.. on 800whp it was hooking with the M&H street tires.. Its nice on the street cause i can really heat them up driving.. the waterbox does barely anything for them at the track..

Mike congrats on the hard work. Atleast you were able to pull off your new best MPH. With practice and time to set the car up no doubt the car will be a low 9 sec to a high 8 second car. Keep up the good work guys. I know you guys have been busting your a$$ at the shop to get your car done. Happy Holiday's man!

i think we have an issue with the damper possibly.. i thought it happened the 1st time cause we had a PS pulley that was a little bent and thought the belt jumped and wacked the tensioner and cracked it.. so we changed PS pumps and a new belt.. same issue again.. ill figure it out next week..
