Paul was at the track Saturday, and they are still dialing it in. I'm sure that 9's are just around the corner for that machine. Maybe this weekend at the Vette Viper shoot out at Atco.

9.90 on the lowest possible boost setting, letting up at the line, in a 20knot sustained headwind so far.

It has been a learning curve. The cold air only makes it harder to get traction. Basically the 26" ET Streets spun to a 10.4 and then we went to the 28" ET Streets. Then the clutch said, "I don't think so". We had a custom twin disc built, clutch holds, tires and out put shafts don't. Then we broke 2 pass side and one 300M transmission out put shafts. Another 300M transmission out put shaft and a custom built pass out put shaft were installed. And then we went 9.90 on a not so perfect run but no breakage. We hope to run it this Friday and I know we can hit the 9.60 mark.

It has enough power on the high boost setting but I think 8's are pushing it on a 6spd car.

Or even 9.8 at this point, so far.
