Question Will the Tomato go 9's?

As it is slow as hell in the NE section figured I'd post about my track rental....

Started off with a 1.471 sixty ft ran 107.70 in the 1/8th (a new best fow now) and ran 10.094 @ 134.63

Let it cool and went back up and cut a 1.515 sixty ft, ran 106.99 in the 1/8th and short shifted third and went 10.218 @ 134.06......how do you short shift an automatic you ask????? well I've had some issues with my T-com going from first to third so I programmed the t-com to shift 1/2 at 6400 and shifted the 2/3 manually.

Tried a different launch technique and quickly learned that it didn't work.

1.624 sixty ft, 106.93 in the 1/8th and 10.373 @ 134.52

Now back to what I know works.....

1.446 sixty ft, 108.15 in the 1/8th and........

Find a way to do the 9s with the cats in. You're practically there anyway. Dig deep Marc...find those last few ponies and do it up!

I tried that and blew the head gaskets.......

Going to try and get it back together quickly and ditch the cats and go for 9's before I dial it back a tad.

I built this combo with the intentions of running 15#'s of boost and I'm seeing 19 going through the lights (roughly 19#'s, it's kinda hard to watch a gauge at 135+, all I get is a quick glance)

Winter plans, lower the boost a C/H, relocate the battery to the back, if I can afford it, get some skinnies and QA1 shocks for the front.
