Many with bolt-ons would be surprised to find how hard it is to get a clean launch, a decent 60 foot, and to just break into the 12s, let alone 10s. I've been around Ari and Steve long enough to know that a 10.74, with room still to improve, kicks some serious ***

Yeah dude, you're right about that........ It takes some practice. I was expecting to go out and run a 13.00 @ 135mph

The way it sits right now, I'm hoping to trap 135mph. I want to be trapping atleast 140mph by next season. I'm having Steve Kan tune turn my boost up/tune my car again in 2-3 months and also, set it up for a hit so I don't think I'll have a problem.

I'm extremely happy that I can drive my RX7 30 minutes to the track, run a 10.74 and drive it back home.

Heck yeah, that's a dream car baby........

Damn good run though Eric for what it is. Do you have the fastest rotary at Gateway? I haven't been in a loooooooooooooooooooong time. In resonse to dude saying why you don't run quick with all that power there isn't much room for error so you'd have to make many runs to get exactly where you want to be. And Soulassasin ran faster b/c he had an FC, duh!
