Also need to save up a little cash before the next time I run, in case the something lets go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzlyF6 Member 87 Member For: 16y 9m 17d Gender: Male Location: Mackay Posted 12/09/08 02:33 PM Author Share Posted 12/09/08 02:33 PM Well Dave worked a little magic for me and managed to squeeze a little more out of the car to the tune of 388rwkw on BP98 fuel. So back out to the strip and ran an 11.2@124mph. Car feels alot stonger through the 60ft, got a 1.73 so moving closer to the 10's. (also I need a bit more practice at lauching ) Best part was I got to drive it home time........not follow it while its on a tilt tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
