Shakedown run at Etown.

Well at least it's somewhat getting down the track.. There's a few issues that are slowly getting sorted out.. Another 3 or 4 runs and i think this thing will finally show me what it's capable of..

I had all sorts of tire spin last time out so i did a few changes to stop that..
I lowered the 2 step, removed the limit strap, lower tire pressure, etc, etc.

Well now it sqauts a bit too much, on top the front end it up and car is moving a bit...
Tires are rubbing the quarters too. Pretty badly...

Anyhow enjoy.

And for those of you who say i'm scared to post my video..

Here you go scumbag.

boost is roughly 30psi...

power is hard to say but probably around 800 or so...

looks great, I'd say 5 more passes and it's in the 8's. then you can focus on bringing that record home to NY

on a side note, thats an intresting youtube page your brothers got there... theres one vid in particular that i think he forgot to edit. lefts just say the last 3 seconds or so are VERY intresting... wonder what the haters think about that one?

That was the worst looking 10 second pass I've seen. And by that I mean she looks like she has so much more in er! Looks awesome man, this car is a huge inspiration to me.
