10s or bust...
guess that was a poor choice of words, because the latter is what happened. Dead hooked a 5krpm launch and snapped the drivers side output shaft. I figured my luck was bound to run out sooner or later, since it was still stock. Don't think it helped that the car cooled way down since it had to sit for over an hour, because Rich Christianson from Pinks showed up to do promotional testing for his new show "Move". Did trap 99mph in the 1/8 for the 1st time, but only ran 11.24@121.5 thru the traps. Datalog showed 114% injector duty cycle, so I think I found the answer to my other post. The weather was the best I've ever run in TX, it was ~0ft DA on that pass and -300 when I broke. Hopefully I'll get it fixed before the track shuts down for the year.

I agree and imagine it's the injectors. There was no wind and only picking up 22mph on the 2nd half is pathetic. Definitely gonna upgrade, any preference between SVO, racetronix or bosch?
