Cartek lied to me !
They told me my new set up would probably run 9.50's at 145 in the 1/4 , and instead it ran 9.44 at 148.79 
, and we're not done yet 
. I am still amazed this car is running this fast with stock Z-06 exhaust manifolds on it ! Details below .
Well , It was another great day at the track , set another new best ET and MPH .
60FT 1.534
1/8 Mile 6.155 at 118.68
1/4 9.446 at 148.79
The car was making between 13-14lbs of boost throughout all my runs today and I was hitting the rev limiter just before the end of the 1/4 on most of my runs (time for a taller tire or less gear) . I was extremely happy with the car today , and had a blast hanging out with all the other guys and their fast cars . I once again drove it to and from the track in my street trim with just an air pressure change to the drag radials , I just got in from the track , stopped at the mall and went to watch my high school alma mater in the NJ State football playoofs on the way home .
Another huge thanks to Cartek and Rodney at RPM Transmissions( I will make a seperate post regarding this) , my trans went bad in the beginning of the week , and these guys pulled through for me big time .
Cartek has helped me take this car from a stock motor with bolt-ons running high 12's in the 1/4 , to what it is today , a fast , reliable , 9-second street car , that I can drive anywhere .

Absolutely amazing speed and ET, from a relatively simple turbo system. 
BTW, I think Dave needs to give Alex a new job....he not only can drive, but also shoot...video, that is.

Cartek lied to me !
Mike, that's the kind of lies that are OK. Man that sounds like an incredible set up. Are you coming down to SC in Feb? I'd love to see it run.
