I don't mind telling you the brand, BC (is already posted somewere else in EVOM anyway), but the actual spring rate and settings will not be disclosed and you would have to call Central Florida Turbo to see if they are willing to share there details...

We ran out of clutch, ran 11.1 @ 120.2 on another track 4 days later slipping 1st and 2nd gear ( 1.59 60'), and are currently waiting on the new clutch and some other mods. But hey! even that bad pass still faster than anybody else to this date, that in itself is something I did not expected, I know it is something that eventually will be broken but so far I am enjoying it!

Note: We won't run again until we do the other mods to the car and go at it again.

People are calling you guys out on your 10 second run. You ran out of clutch, which is believable. What isn't believable is that you made said 10 second pass, but won't make another untill you put more go fast parts on it. What did that proove?

Thanks... we did not expect it either, honestly, in only three months... It is obvious that good parts, tuning, and effort paid off! and yes we are happy.

I don't know, what did we proove? a lot of people tried and still are... But we manage to do it at leat once, and in less time, only four visits to the track, 11.9 twice the first time, 11.37 and 11.4 the second time, 10.99 the third and 11.13 the fourth! The car ran out of clutch and still manage to do 11.13 @ 120+mph (still faster than all other X's to this date and it is being more than a week, plenty of time if you ask me). We did not gave and excuse of why not to run, we went to another track and tried, but the clucth gave up!

We can't wait for everyone else to catch up to then upgrade, it would not make sense, I hope you don't mind us upgrading the car, and besides this week the car is getting photoshooted for a local and two mainland magazines, so risking breaking the car did not make whole lot of sense...

it only proves that there is ALWAYS room for improvement...

i saw the 10.9pass in person i also saw the 11.1 pass and the aftermath (the all to familiar smell of burned clutch)
johnny is not a man that will hoax a thing like this i was there and I saw it.

Thanks... and you know how it is, people that were there know, and they also know that if we are working at the car is not to go any slower. Research Puertorrican style!

Que viva la fiebre!!!!
