Went to the track last night....

Almost, but no cigar. Best pass of the night I went a 10.12@149mph.
60' 1.622
1/8th 114mph
It took two grabs to get into 2nd gear. My synros are shot. I let off a little bit in 4th because it started to float. Everyone's pick up truck was throwing everything down on the track lol...
Throwing aother stocker in for the Pan Ams.

Good job.... Just need to stick that Gforce in there and let her rip, but the rear end might be the next weak link.. Can't wait for next weekend

Thanks guys. The rear "should" be ok. I've got a cradle for the diff and the new driveshaft shop level 5 axle and hub assembly. The G-Force can't get here soon enough. I just got off the phone with Ari and two more weeks it will be here.
Lee, between 32-34lbs. and 18psi on the anti-lag off the line. BTW, the anti-lag setup is money with the AEM.

Congrats Ernie !

Damn it, even a front wheel drive street Honda could run 9.7-8's with those traps :-)

Don't worry, it will happen in front of a all rotary crowd :-) @ Atco.

Good Luck

Some guys build these high HP cars and NEVER run it, glad to see you are out there testing every chance you get. See you at Pan Ams.

sooo closee if your 60' was in the low 1.5x range you prob would have clicked off your 9sec pass....but iam assuming the track wasn't hooking all that great..
