Very first run with the new setup Novi 1500/meth (new best MPH):
10.896 @ 131.64mph

And.. new best ET (2nd run):
R/T... .187
60'..... 1.779
330'... 4.721
1/8... 7.091
MPH... 103.18
1000... 9.142
1/4... 10.869
MPH .. 131.54

The track guys were nice enough to let me run twice, but then booted me after the second run for not having a cage.
Thanks to Chris, Matt, and Doug for their awesome work.

With less power and a stock converter, and that's why she has a T shirt and Blitzy doesn't.

I am using Hoosier DR's on the rear.. 275's on the stock aluminum 5 spoke 17's. They are nice and light and hook great. I could feel a little slide on the launch, but not bad. First pass I launched at 2psi of boost and second pass at 4psi.
