Thumbs up New Best: 5.98 @ 116+ Mph

went out and tested new headers & tune up, and resulted in 5.98 @ 116.33 with a 1.30 60' on the rear tires....run was made leaving at 1500rpm NO TRANS BRAKE!...car really needs a wheelie bar, front end is coming up to high and scraping the back bumper....still using my little 8-ribbed belt , would like to thank Mike at MMS RACING for the awsome job tuning the car.....

hoping to get a wheelie bar made in the next few weeks and see what she will do leaving at 4500 off the trans brake!

You need to go to a 1/4 mile track and make a full pass :P. That calculates to a 9.2!!

thanks guys.....im really concentrating on doing it with a 8-rib belt, im sure we could put a cog set-up on turn up the boost and 8's would not be a problem......but we are going to try and achieve it with a little 8-ribbed belt

Nice!

Tell us about your suspension setup if you don't mind.
