Good times! Is that all the mods you have? What tire pressure you run and what was your 1/8 mile ET & MPH? Congrats!

No problem thanks for coming to the track! The big boys paid for full 1/4 prep so we can thank them for that. Look what I found for you

Great numbers! It is nice to see you are getting it out to the track. Were you running straight up pump gas or did you throw in a touch of 100 octane?

I try to run as close to 100% 100 or 104 octane as the V-12 cars really respond well to the higher octane. When I arrived at the track my car had a range of 8 miles and I put 10 gallons of 104 Sunoco GT plus that I had previously purchased in 5 gallon containers. Sorry, I neglected that detail in my first post.
