Just figured he would find something to complain about. When he was out run last year here he was questioning the slips!

2500 w/driver. Notice he got off the line slow, if he rises the rpm on the 2 step I think he can hit 8.7 easy. Plus he still got 5-6psi left that he haven't us yet.

We are planning to going e85 but concern the bosch coil wouldn't hold up under high boost.
