STM's RS back to the track! 8's!

OK. So last week we decided to drop a BR 2.0 in this car and see what it could really do. We strapped it on the dyno with plans to stop at 700 whp as we were having problems with getting the car to go straight and more power would have only made it harder. Well first full pull netted us 760 whp. More than what we wanted but it all worked out. Right off the trailer the car went 8.92@163. It was just a test and tune night so the track prep was not that favorable but we still managed another 8 second pass right after. Not a bad night at all. The best part is, we figured out why the car would not go straight. Now she will be back on the dyno this week to be set on kill then back to the track shortly.

Nice work! The weight of that car alone is rediculous.
