Exclamation *11.1 @ 126mph in LOW boost*

I ran this Friday night at our track day-one that Aceman set-up-thanks again Todd!

To make it short and sweet, Ive been having trouble staying WOT with my slick/radial tire combo(see vid in sig) I changed slicks and fine tuned suspension and it helped tremendously. Ran 11.1@126mph in low boost letting off in 3rd gear, FULL interior, 490whp on a Dyno Dynamics. 10's soon in low boost then I'll turn it to high boost

Great run Bert. I know you can smell 10's now. I'm really impressed with the 60' time.

I love it. Reminds me of the saying. If your not cheating, your not winning. I know your not. It just popped in my head. It's always been a funny quote.

I know you guys love drag racing. But I don't if you follow the NHRA. But John Force got hurt pretty bad.

Great job. I like the idea of maxing out the lower boost setting and perfecting the skills. Very impressive.

I had 20+ Z owners as witnesses I even showed a few my EBC was off before the runs. For him to say that makes him look silly, just cuz he needed more boost and 500lbs less to run .2 faster doesnt mean Im lying does it?

I was there, AJ didn't spray out of the hole or down the track. He didn't even have a bottle.

You are lying. I know you werent boosting 13psi. When I looked at your boost settings, it said 13.1 psi. That .1 psi, is adding another 150hp. J/K

Dude excellent driving. Seems like you broke loose halfway down the track. What happened?

The first run the car got out of the groove and started going towards the center. It wasnt spinning but I had to get off of it a lot. Second run I launched a few feet closer to the right wall so Id have more room to play with-as the car has a tendency to pull left WOT left. If I only could have stayed in it 100% down. But Im very happy with what it did considering the conditions, very promising.

Nice 2nd run Bert! That hole shot was simply amazing, and damn that thing pulls...You do realize that in high boost you will not be able to stay straight on the track right? Low boost you are already getting squirly in third....

I'll be running with skinnier tires and wheels up front from now on (my stockers) so that should help the car's tendency to be over sensitive to steering input with the slicks out back. Look what a difference going to a 1" wider slick made over last time, now imagine going 1.5" narrower on the fron wheel-should take care of it. We'll see what happens
