With a few small changes to the car since the 8.20 at IFO in Seattle, Jeff and the crew headed to the track for some end of the year testing to see how much the change to Methanol had helped.


The 8.07 happened at only 48psi compared to the 55psi of the 8.20@176mph pass. Traction was decent but the car did spin on the second pass with more boost. Nitrous came on early and spun hard enough to kill the e.t. but the speed did come up 2mph.

Need to thank Marco at Magnus Motorsport for a BA dry sump, Robert and Scott @ Forced Performance for an awesome turbo, Kiggly for the Auto help and parts over the last few seasons, Jens at Fuel Injector Clinic for the fuel system parts, and Craig at Sparktech for having the parts to keep it lit. Mark at Metro Transmissions has been hard at work to keep the eclipse auto happy and working at this power level. We are switching converter manufacturers for next year so hopefully we see it run faster

sick all wheel drive burnouts! Cant wait to see it at full potential

 

Siiiiiiick!!! Got to get me one of those

 

This car is insane

 

Thanks guys

Its been an interesting build over the last 5+ years getting it to where it is now. When the car was first built it made the power some of our street cars make now, so I can confidently say that we have taken what we learned and applied to the real world. It will be interesting to see what it does next season.

Nice! Would love to see this car compete heads up with the Red Demon.

 

We were hoping for that at the Shootout, but a broken T-case and front diff eliminated the car. Maybe next year

 

Congrats! 7's will be there for sure next year if not next time out

Car looks solid and pretty well mannered going down the strip

7s will happen!

 

Is that the only realistic event because of where you guys live (west vs. east coast)?

 

Unless he plans on going to Las Vegas IFO this year, the Shootout is probably the closest event that we would both be at.
