To answer some questions, my tranny was bone stock in these vids, nothing done to or the stall. You will be at that track in a couple months Elliot, the track itself is average, prep is good but it is by no means a fast or slow track, it makes you work for your times

My mods are relatively simple in these runs:

82mm t/b
180mm pulley
ttm fueling
FF long tubes
BIP offroad x pipe
BIP HE
C16 race gas toooon by Tony
car dynode 543rwhp/635rwtq on a Dynojet right before the runs

Race driver seat, no passenger seat, no back seat and braille battery. Track scale said 3860lbs without me in it..... She is a light little girl, the way I like my sheila's!

Perfectly stated.

I can't even imagine what's next for this BEAST. Records will be falling quicker than the ladies undergarments that are lucky enough to be in its presence.

Nice passes - You're knocking on the door of a 10 sec pass and it's probably coming soon.

Chawkins, you're such a noob at the track! LOL...J/K

It's pretty impressive how it launched ahead of the ZR-1...sticky tires sure do wonders.

Cool vid Craig. Good job making the Corvettes tires go cold...street racing tactics 101!


+2 to pearlpower


AKnight, that battery is not intended for full time use in a MB unless you plan on keeping it on a trickle charger every day/night. The low amp/hr cannot keep up with the constant draw from all the MB electronics.

Hope you and your beast are recovering nicely.
