Sorry guys no good news as of now. Friday night we finally got some needed test passes and data. 1st up 2-3rd gear pull. Car seems to go real straight compared to last year. Afrs were lean but the sensor is over 1 year old. To be safe we splashed 8% of fuel in it. 2nd pass car broke up the whole way. Pull the plugs way rich. 3rd pass leaned her back out car fell on its face out of the whole. No big deal pulled it threw 3rd and shut it down. Hit it with some antilag. 4th pass lets the tires loss pull 2nd gear and no power #$%^&*. Oil all over the side of the car. Turbo left the building literary there is no shaft or exhaust wheel its all gone.

Its 11 30pm here and we are trying to dig up a turbo slap it on and be at the track by 9am.

Wish us luck we need it lol.

Nice post...I'd like to say thank you to Turbotrix and Dogbox for updating us. These guys are obviously working hard at this. Further proof that it isn't as easy as it sounds or looks even if you have the power.

In between all of this they still have customers that they are taking care of.

Props guys and well a few of these will cool you down

Good luck tomorrow

This is what i'm talking about. This speaks loud and clear of the Dogbox racing team to have the Dedication, Determination and the Will power and of course Knowledge to get back out there even pulling a all nighter.

Do you have any pics of the carnage?

126 in the 1/8 is Big mph....certainly good for some 8.80s or better but so is 159 thru the 1/4
