UMMM YOUR CAR IS SICK... I was just wondering, did the Lambo lose bc of the launch bc it seemed like it stayed with you. From our angle it was hard to see but did the gap between you get bigger or wider at all during the run?

I gradually pulled away from the lambo after the launch -- you can tell from the trapspeeds, where the Lambo ran 116 mph and I ran 123. By the end of the track I'm walking away at about 10' / sec.

I've got a shot from the outside of the entire engine bay, including the airbox. I don't believe it's appropriate to post the airbox interior, but it's a straight-through design as opposed to the baffled design of the stock 'box.

I also need some major help with my drag times. I ran a 12.659 @114.7 on sat with a 2.18 0-60ft that was on strret tires with no burn out or anything. I just left the car in s mode and suspension at the lowest setting and the abc in comfort mode, no power braking or anything esp on and just slammed the gas. any tips for me???

Honestly -- just buy a pair of 18" wheels with BFG drag radials on them, and use those for racing. You can get decent traction on the street tires by doing a serious burnout with them, but you'll be much better off with drag radials, and they're cheaper to boot.
With DRs - set cold pressure to 20 PSI, drive around the waterbox and back in, then roll forward out, do a short burnout (only until you see smoke on both sides), then roll up to the staging line and nail it. Instant high 11s
