Im sure they do! LOL. Good luck. Records are meant to be broken but 11.52 is gonna be tough.

Im sure Mike wants you to thats for sure! I believe he said he wanted to put money on it as well so hopefully you and I can be at the same track on the same day and make it interesting!

Very tough to beat (all things being equal...whatever that means).

What were your spec on that run? Tires, gas, etc...I have a sneaky suspicion the OE Tune might be a little faster than my Eurocharged tune...I can't see how DRs will improve my trap speeds by 5-7mph.

The only way to try and challenge is to replicate the conditions of the record run and see where the driver input and tune net out.

Its in the 1/4 mile thread above. The track and weather conditions were perect. You couldnt ask for a better day. That will be the biggest milestone.


11.590 was with stock rear rims and stock fronts. 11.53 was with skinny's up front. Race fuel and MT drags. K&N Filters. Full interior.

Got it. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm interested enough in the record to invest in a set of skinnys. I'll probably just invest in a set of rear DRs and try to get the best time possible.

I respect the work you guys put into the cars and getting these times as low as you all have. It speaks volumes about the potential and durability of the platform.

Damn, you are right. Ahmad's are always $100.

You going? I need to get a set of MT's quick. Will your place be able to get them by fast if I order tomorrow or should I look elsewhere?
