Congrats! I'm wondering what is the exact model of the AME injection you used? Thanks!

That's a awesome run, by looking at the time slip, there is potential to reduce the ET even more. If Doug can do a 1.5 something or even a 1.60 60ft I see a 9.7 if he can launch a little better, I think his suspension is holding him back
1/10 in 60 foot time is at least 2/10 in the 1/4 mile

Thank you and I agree, although I don't think it is the suspension. This track day had very little prep on the surface, when I get to my local Byron Dragstrip the car will probably hook much harder because they prep quite well. Still waiting for the track to open for the season.

Do you think there is more left in improving your times? Have you thought about reducing weight? I know here in Gulf we can have option of light weight seats and so on.

Great job once again. First and only 9 second c63.

Outstanding!! Very Impressive to be in the 9’s with full interior and A/C and all

where did you get the CF intakes? Is that WeisTech?

Quick mod list:
YP4 Turbos
3" downpipes
AWE Track exhaust
CF Air intakes
Comp Spec Cooling System
AEM Meth injection
Wavetrac LSD
2.65 Final Drive Ratio
Stock transmission tuned for more line pressure
stock engine internals
305/35/18 MT ET Street Drag Radials on CCW wheels

Full Interior
Fuel was 93 octane blended with 110 Renegade
