Happy 4th of July!

Spent mine at the track. Ran a new pump gas PB of 10.90@125.4 and took home the first place trophy.

Didn't even put on my CAI, that was through the stock air boxes with filters in place.

Hope yours was safe and fun too!

Congrats!!! Pump gas and filters, you must have your launches down pat. Nice job, with the first place trophy. Any others changes done since last year? I'm glad to see you are still enjoying the car and getting to the track with it. I'm getting the itch to see if I can make a 10 second pass with Michelins, maybe in the fall.

Amazing, congradulations! I like how Alaska celebrates the 4th of July. Wish Minnesota had something like that, LOL.

Thanks. No changes to the car since last year. I was planning on a killer chiller but spent my mod money and time on repairs.....

The findings of this thread may have an impact on the idea of the killer chiller.
