Un real time's Jim! You're running about where Highpockets has run w/his stick-shifted, TT C5. That is a hell of an engine.

I agree with the post that pondered performance at sea level.
Yeah, you have raced there Tom... nothings changed!

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.

Great run, Jim! Now, come down to sea level, make your first run in the 9s no problem and get booted off the track
