Thanks a lot guys. It's definitely been a ride all year. I'm gonna do a few things this winter in the bay to try and organize and make it cleaner. Right now some things are mounted , but not really where I'd like em, but they need to be on lol.

So some small things to do this winter still.

I guess I'll give a small update. Car didn't make it all weekend at the shoot out yet again lol. I ended up blowing the turbo up on my 2nd pass Ono sat at the shoot out. Turbo was over spun I guess. I told myself I was done with the car for the year that weekend.......

Well then a week later I had a brand new FP Htz3586 chra in my hands lol. I had to make it to a track and make a sucessful pass this year. So then came IFO in Stl. Car made me proud finally lol.

I ended up running a 10.25@129 which is my best pass I've run in the car. I ran out of 4th gear way sooner than usual. I was trapping 109 in the 1/8th and only managed to gain an extra 20mph by the end of the 1/4.

The car definitely has 9s in it. That's all I ask of the car too. Not planning anything to add more power this winter. Bring it out fresh next year and try and make that 9sec pass!

Were you the one that I had talked to on the phone? I ended up keeping it as you can see and made a lot of changes lol.

This winter, I have a few plans. Trans build, new catchcan setup, and re organize some of the wiring. Thats about it.
