Thanks again Rocket for coming down and working the vid!!!
Was hoping this would be the unveiling of a special project I have been working on, cough cough nos, but system just not ready yet. These are all motor passes with pretty nice conditions, just a little cross breeze. Looks like they actually prep the track a bit for test n tune, car hooked ok.
No records broken, but all in all, a good night. Guess I can finally stop bit ching bout someday running at sea level. Just unreal how much different the car ran!!

Jackpro1 great times and curious about a few things...
Whats size wheel and rubber are you running and did car change up to 4th by the end of the quarter or were you still in third?
My calcs off stock rubber show you should be pulling 123.25mph in 3rd at 6500 rpm with the 2.82. The 2.65 has a ~8mph delta at the ~120mph area, and ~13mph at top wack... think this diff ratio is the sweet spot up to 125 traps.
Would love to see a 2.82 run against an M5 to Vmax and see how it hangs at higher speeds... the M5 gearing advantage would be reduced somewhat... but would expect it still to pull at the very top and thots?

Nice runs.........I'm sending these videos to my brother, he has a 700hp mustang that runs in the 10's on NOS. I need to add some mods before I run him on motor. Want to see you break the 10 barrier with the "Happy Gas"!!
