Ya I decided to get carried away.lol I'm shooting for a 9 second run now. Before I did port injection I had a personal best of 9.53@147. Now I want 9 flat. Probably will have to wait till fall when I can get some good air though.We'll see, going to use the summer months to upgrade axles and put a cage in, if I can find a reason to have the motor pulled again I'll change out the cam and hopefully get that time slip I'm shooting for.

Outstanding! 145 in the quarter is big too.
Do you have any recommendations on tire pressure in the rear R888R's?
Which front tire did you run with the Toyo's?
I am headed to the Arkansas Mile next weekend, I am really impressed with the R888R's, I have been to 120 on the street and they are stable with the Continental Conti's on the front in the stock size.
Thanks in advance.

My car is running great. I will wait until the Fall also to get to the track, for now I'm just cruising the streets and enjoy being the wrong Vette to get picked on...
I'm afraid to touch my axles or do a converter. Dont want to break my Diff..

He's working right now and has been getting a lot of calls. I'm sure he will get with you shortly. He's going to do a post with more info. I sorta let the cat out of the bag a little premature because I was anxious to post my results from the half mile event. I'm at work now till 3pm and when I get off will try to answer some questions.
chris seems like a great guy. my kit is in development and I'm excited to turn this baby up on some flex fue l

I'm glad your car is still running strong. I'm scared of breaking all that stuff.
