Ran the FD this weekend with the new setup...
First time going back to the track after a long time. A lot has changed. Installed a cobra rear, driveshaft shop axles and a Gforce tranny. Thanks to SpeedNYC and the guys at Speedtek that helped me get the car ready for this event. Good news is this is the first time I have not broken anything. Bad news is that the car is spinning a lot more. I went out with ET Streets, next time out will be with full slicks.
I had three passes, unfortunately I had to lift each time. The one pass that I stayed in it longer than the other 2 had a better 1/8 mile time than the rest.
60ft 1.521
330 4.063
1/8 6.445
MPH 92.72
1000 9.018
1/4 11.568
MPH 84.03
Here are the three passes on video.

Thanks again SpeedNYC and Joe Perez that helped me get the tranny. Thank you Dee, Judge Ito and Ray that took the time to advise me on the next steps. Thanks Enzo for a great turbo kit and the advice on the turbo. And thanks to Speedtek that helped me put all these parts together and all the fab work!
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony

Looking good Anthony! Little more seat time and you will have it figured out. That's got to be the craziest time slip I have ever looked at! Is ok not to give props to me makin sure you got your clutch in time..
Who's that big headed guy at the 1:26 mark?

Thanks guys and thanks Mike!!
Track was prepped properly, I should have been on full slicks vs the Et streets. I have to grind the calipers to mount the slicks so I was really just being lazy.
