this guy might have some. 4-5 hrs from you though.. probably too far to drive to get any, unless you really really needed it.

Yeah, that's way too far of a drive . I'll figure something out.

Thanks for the link, though.

Congrats!!!!!!

That is one nice pass. 10.0 @119 is just crazy, I bet when you hit 9s it will be a 9.5-9.7

I think you have the best combo around. Interior is spotless, exterior is amazing and these times compliment the package.

I'm happy for you. Now don't sell the freakin car!

I was very impressed with your launch and the 1.43 60!!! Congrats! By the way, I think you should call the regional VP guys (I think they are in Muncie, IN) and I bet they can get you 5-10 quantities sent your way, or know of a stash within' close range of you. Good luck! Also, when you do get that 9.6 sec run, I'm guessing you'll trap 144.

Thanks guys, I'm going to try and find some gas or try and have some shipped to me. The track is open on the 21st during the day. I'd like to try that since the track will be nice and warm in the sun. It's hard hooking up there on Tuesday nights.

I'm going to run down to the local circle track speed shop and see if they have some 80 lb springs that I can use in the rear. I think that should help.

How many miles do you have on those tires. ET streets are bad about work hardening if driven much on the street. One of my friends has a BB nova that when he has a fresh set of tires on it runs deep into the 9s but after he puts about 1500-2000 miles on the tires they wont hook off the line for ****. He is spraying a 250 shot off the line with a 28x12.5 and it stands it up but after a while it will spin all the way through first. We tried VHT and that didn't seem to work either. Just a thought.

I have maybe 300-500 miles on them at the most. The first time I did a burnout in them was 1 month ago.

congrats on your run eric! You can now say that you're faster than me. :-P Didn't I tell you that your car is gonna be a hand full? and you were thinking about running more boost to get more hp out of it.

Yeah no joke, this car is more than I can handle. I might have barely ran a faster time than you but you were running bottom 10's 10 years ago. I can't imagine how fast you would be if you didn't go into retirement

improvement

i must say, from when you first started posting vids of you running on the track with this current setup, you can definately tell that you are improving, and that is pretty awesome to me...i like to see people develop, it makes the end outcome that much sweeter!
