Spark Tech Ignited Evo goes 8.43@172mph details inside

Congrats to the Kings Performance team. They have just run an 8.43@172mph in competition at NDIMA in Palm Beach, FL. The cars 60' has been somewhat off pace but has been consistently trapping in the 170+mph range on the last few outings. Once this 60' issue is dialed in a new U.S. ET record is easily in reach. The ultimate goal is of course the World record. More to come.

Thank you creg for the post


I like to thank fastfernad / Sergio and the whole KingsPerformance team

And a very special thanks to:
Mect-tech/Sparktech/Garrett turbo/ Bc Racing Suspensions/Cp- Carrillo/ Supertech/Carlitos Tires/AEM /PPG /THP

and last but not least Special Thanks To :

Marcos Pasante from Magnus motorsports We have been in discussion for the last few weeks about how to make the car lighter and more consistent. With their EVO Front and Rear Chromemoly subframes we cut some weight and gained some traction and stability, also with the launch control device valve we perfected our launch. and put the power down!! almost a near perfect launch! On behalf of my self & the team thank You all
