Hello 10ssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!

Feels great took a few tries but got in! whether DA was a factor or not i made sure i got in and boy did i get in These cars are full of surprises and ask me how i know..7 passes into the 10's

Two of the fastest passes: (No spray of any kind) Just *****!!

60' 1.621
330 4.601
1/8 7.031
330 4.601
1/8 7.031 @ 100.70
1000 9.124

1/4 10.880 @ 129.44


60' 1.61
330 4.582
1/8 7.003 @ 101.01 MPH
1000 9.089

1/4 10.842 @ 129.27 Booyeahhhh!!!


Wanted to mention a few names of guys that worked on my car and helped me on what i call the revival or the comeback from what was a nightmare for me and off course the car itself.

*JR and Pat @ REDLINE SPEED WORX for putting this engine together and for having it ready in a timely manner so it could be driven 6 hrs to get tuned. Not to mention how strong and smooth the car felt/feels..Keep up the good work

*After two previous tunes in my car i finally ended up with Jeremy @ OE TUNING who backs up a great product with nothing but great numbers (track numbers) In my book the guy is the real Master Tuner !

* Last but not least Suppy, Bill and the guys @ LM24 in Deer Park,NY for fixing the Sub-frame for me and the ideas on my cooling system, starting with the Meth, Split Reservoir, pumps etc. as well as a Full custom Exhaust with X-pipe, TB Y-Pipe and nothing but a great team of guys.

Jody,Alan, Charlie, Ahmad, BK for all the advice and all the little tricks...

Fricken sick brotha! I told ya, it was just a matter of time before you smashed into the 10's! Keep on having fun with what you do....dragging that 4 door sedan!!!!

It's nice to have another OE Tuned 55 in the 10's....more will be coming. I predict Sun, Charlie, and BK will hit 10's before winter is over.

It seems as though you have all the right stuff to get it done. The only thing you'll need to complete this accomplishment is good weather and great prep.

Luis, it couldn't happen to a more deserving person. I remember when we were getting tuned in VA and you left, heading back to NY, and had to turn around and come back 20+miles because your car had gone into limp mode, car wouldn't shift out of 2nd gear. All I could think was this mother****er is crazy to keep messing with this car because it is cursed. Well yeah brotha, it is now cursed with 10s!!! Congrats

Folks, I think it's fairly obvious what it takes to reach 10s w this car:

Pulley
LT Headers
Big Bore TB
A solid tune
Upgraded cooling components (H/E, pump etc.)
