Wouldn't of been able to run without him. Once ya get use to the gforce that it pulls it's quite easy to drive, when it runs 9.50 it's very sedate but at near enough to 160mph it starts to feel rapid and ya have to be on ya toes to get the most out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't pull the chute unless it becomes completely necessary which it may or may not happen next outing knowing the power we're gonna put through it. There still std bf brakes so there doin well, I figure having the 245 front Tyre is helping things there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no big dollar setup under there and the std brakes love it I've never had a problem pulling it up. The rotors on it are even a few yrs old, they've seen quite a few passes so I'm very surprised that there's no shudder yet. The launch is all in the way we've set them and boost control off the line not just the min or peak number. Anyone can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not everyone is gonna put a haltech in but boost controllers like ams and boost leash will allow the same sort of control and adjustability that the haltech does for us.
