Those are some DEEP 10's! Well done! I need the motivation to get mine back together before the season is over...This helps a lot! What kind of boost was it running?

Thanks!

4th pass was a deep 10.

11,99 then a stupid 13 whatever (missed 2nd gear for 2sec), then a 11,14, and at last a 10,63.

Blew a silicone hose on sunday, fixed it and went 10,62 :)

Yeah. Pretty cool! 10s was on my list as well. Only problem is that I accidentaly added another thing to do...

Left alot in the start and shifted too early to 4th.

Will do some corrections to the intake system this winter. Need to balance the flow, and pick up some more hp... :D

Should be a fairly easy job. Prototype in steel, and get it made in thick aluminium.

SCC 2017 just happened, and car ran an 10,407 @ 215,57kph (133,94mph). Not so impressive 1,601 60 foot so there is a lot left in the car. Should be able to run 9s on DOT tires :twisted:


But.. Gearbox decided to grenade itself on sunday morning. Broke the case in front of the ring, and its basically in two pieces.. I've got a spare mag case for next year, but new to upgrade pretty hard.

So either Rhino house + weddle (?) front house or full Autocraft case.. :shock:

Haha. Well, when you break it, you might BREAK it.. :lol:

It probably is a good thing anyway. Car needs more power in the future.

Time for some power upgrades as well! Bigger intercooler and bigger injectors. And a better flowing intake!

That looks really cool. Really heavy too though. I can't imagine that is gonna fit in the engine compartment...you gonna package tray mount it like i did mine? Mine is half the size of yours.
