Had a private rental with some great weather

Gen 4 2.9 standard inlet
Stock motor
Stock tans
Fuel system
Solid 9”

Best pass off the trailer 1.48 60' 10.17@137 . This would have be a 9.9 but the car was breaking up on the big end as you can hear in the video.
Backed that up with a bunch of 10.2's as the track was starting to go away as the day went on.
Definitely has 9's in it if I can get the 60' down some more

Very nice, Frank! Looked like damn solid driving to me, 1.48 60ft really good. It breaking up in 4th had to buzz kill some momentum for sure, that very well might have been the difference in 9.9X at 140

Thanks brotha!! Yea I was mad and happy when I got the slip lol, I knew the breaking up was the difference in the 9.9

I'm running C16, the rear suspension is a soild 8.8 with 9" ends, upr solid uppers and lowers Viking double adjustable shocks and stock springs.

I have to dial the suspension in just a little bit more and I'm getting that 9 on just motor and boost. I plan on spraying it just a little next season.

Congrats! That was a great launch and definitely en route to a 9 second run but for the breaking up at the end. No doubt you'll be into the 9s in 2020!

Great passes but your 10.17 pass would not have been a 9sec pass even if the car was running good on the top end . 6.54 @106mph 1/8th not going to give you 9 second pass . You need bottom 6.4 or 6.3 in 1/8th to get the car into 9s
