2. Bis Ply not drag radials
3. Reinforced axles
4. Quaife
5. Don't load up the converter, leave soft
6. Hammer the "I AM GOD" pedal at the 60ft mark
7. Take iPhone picture of dude driving '85 Fox Body with wheelie bars as you blow past him, with your seat massager on.
8. Get kicked out for going too fast without a roll cage or chute
9. Post 145+mph time slip
10. Listen to the Jakpro "MBWorld and V12Godspeed present, the EV12..." audio clip

Can't wait to see a full pass, bro...
HAHAHAH!!! I got to hand it to you, this will be my check list going forth.

Bias ply will help save parts because the sidewall wrinkles and helps lessen the shock

This is what happens when you stall the torque monster... I have a 3K stall on this ****, right at peak torque almost, she has to be putting north of 850rwtq at that point for her to pull this one off. Back to the drawing board...she has been parked for 2 weeks since incident, weather has been horrible we will get a modified drive shaft to hold her down. Stay posted.

I would like to thank Luis (loco 55), Mike (mertd93) and my brother Joel for taking the trip with me to the strip. Thanks to Luis for the Tow!

Here is a video, nothing special of the breakdown at launch, turbos came in too hard and drive shaft couldnt take it.
