Congrats to everything Joey! It was great to finally meet you as Tyler is always talking about your build. Need to put the beast on a diet. Awesome to see a very consistent low 9 second car. Should bring it out to Import vs Domestic at Maryland International Raceway in November! Nothing like Negative DA numbers!

Thanks Adam! It was nice to meet you guys as well. Ive been talking to Tyler ever since he first bought his Evo and its amazing with what you did to that car. Congrats on getting the Stock Turbo Evo record!

Import vs Domestic race would be fun. Ill see what my schedule is like and maybe I can make another trip. If I cant make it, i think my next trip will be to the IDRC event at Buschur again in May. Never been to that one and i hear its a blast also.

Congrats joey!! Any time you can compete in a big event, make it to finals & still be able to take your car home in running condition is a great time! And to come second only to the red demon is by far very impressive! Congrats again to you & all of boostin performance!

Thanks Bud! It was a fun day and it was great to be in the finals with the Red Demon. Im glad the Junk Box stayed solid and consistent and im really happy i made a 9.0 pass there. Car was just spinning more then i hoped this past weekend and i tried many things to prevent it. Overall it was awesome. Car came home in 1 piece and now going to make some changes. Rear Wilwood small brakes and staging brake come next week. Time to get the car down on weight and more light weight parts! I have some more videos being uploaded today. Stay tuned!!

Thank you sir! When the motor is out over the off season, I am going to paint the bay and do a full wire tuck. Half of the wiring in the car right now is useless and not needed. I just need the motor out to do it all. Stay tuned for more videos and Pics!

Staging brakes are the way to go. I cant wait to get mine as well. Im getting sick of launching of the stock E-Brake lol. I wish I could make it out to the EVO/STI event. Thats just a long haul for us here in Chicago lol.

Lol I used to launch with no E-brake, but the car would creep forward. If i didnt use the E-Brake now it would do the same thing. I plan to go to the sport compact event back at Summit Motorsports in May in 2013. I always hear great things about that event as well. The ride for me is about 4:30-5 Hours which isnt bad at all. You definetly need to make it to the Shootout next year. Its one hell of a time
