I only made 3 passes. Final one was a 11.09 at 126 w/ 1.7 60ft.

The car has zero suspension mods (expect lowering springs) and a stock clutch. No brace or anything. All that stuff is on the to-do list,
just wanted to get out there and test the car out.

Didnt launch the car too crazy, left at 3k rpm on the 315 Hoosier DR's on 17's.

I feel like the car has way more in it, just need more seat time, as this was my first time out with this setup. Some cooler weather couldnt hurt either, it was still in the 80's and a bit humid here in southwest FL.

I think you did great your first time out with the set up. Some cooler air would really wake the car up. Could you post your time slip so we can see how the car did at the 1/8 mile (ET and MPH).

SO close to 10s, which WILL come. Very impressive first time out. Hopefully you can post a track video some day. I'd love to see/hear it run. :burnout:

Ya, I was tempted to get back in line after the 11.09 pass and try for the 10, but everyone was ready to go at that point. It was kind of bittersweet, lol.
