Your car comes on strong on the last half, my bike does 146 with me on it and I'm running 117 in the 1/8th. I bet your car would be a hwy monster.

That is bad assed. In today's paddle shifted, E-nannied, launch controlled, "do everything for you" cars, rowing your own in a car like this, to those numbers is totally awesome. The fact that Jim is doing it w/a ~20% power and torque handicap due to D/A, is even more awesome.

Those were the very first runs on that engine. The car/engine/gearing is set up for NOS. Those 3 runs are the only runs down the track this year.
