Scale was broke last night. But last time I put it on it was 2490 without me. I was running 8 gallons extra last night so it was around 2550 add me 2760.

I just love that you have done it all by yourself minus the tuning. Looks great man, buy my hatch and shed a couple more pounds.

Also, how many miles and passes on those ALS seals now? Next set, if you ever need them, is on the house.

Still in 10-11k range. Without counting the slips I would guess 50 or so passes, 3rd season on them.
Hope I won't need a rebuild soon but you never know. When I do I will remind you on your offer. Guess I could throw on the ALS sticker in that case?

I think ray could pull more out of it as my log show high 10,s afr,s even at 35psi and duty was still only mid 80's.

I agree, get a nice cage done, maybe even a 6pt with swing outs. How much boost were you running?

Here is the link to the other video, badass!!! That turbo recovers quick between shifts!

what's up with the S. Fl jab you threw in there...
There are some of us down here that state what we really got on the dyno and do NOT fudge the numbers.......

My personal best at the local 1/8th has been a 7.5 with a 1.6 sixty foot.... and I only dynoed 370HP to the wheels with Steve Ken's tune...
Best 1/4 mile has been an 11.8.... Have to go back and keep trying. I am on ALL stock rear suspension.. trying to find a TII diff so I can convert my center section...

Keep up the great times...

Excellent! I about shat myself when I cut a 1.5 60FT(oem axles BTW:P) I couldnt imagine that 1.3! My goal is to trap 110MPH in the 1/8TH, I haven't been able to get a clean pass out of it(no front skinnies) but right now trapping 98-100MPH. Looks like the OEM's will do the job!

You didnt' miss much. I drove one and was not impressed. Certainly not better than what you have already- ROTA!

Keep up with those bad *** launches. I still can't believe you haven't broken the axles! I'm sure the key is the ET streets and taking the slack out of the driveline before launching. Whatever it is, your doing a great job.
Now lets see a 1/4 mile pass.
