Time to give a big thanks for my 10.51 pass!

A short few months ago i said i was going after the record and a lot of people doubted me but its finally here. My biggest thanks go out to Ahmad and Jerry. Without those guys this wouldn't be possible for me. Ahmad and I spent countless hours getting this thing together and coming up with idea's and he was also responsible for Jerry coming up to tune it. Jerry tuned the car and has it running better and stronger than i even imagined. I also want to thank BK(lowprofile) for giving me something to chase after and also advice. That shows the kind of guy he is to give me advice to break his own record. Also thanks to Chawkins for posting the slips. I have a feeling this record wont be around for long as there are others going after it but i think i'm just getting started............ 10.51@132 with the DA over 1000ft. She will fly this fall
Below are the best times of the day also. FYI They are taken from different runs

60ft-----1.521
330ft----4.370
1/8------6.759
1/8 best MPH 104.35
1000ft---8.803
1/4------10.512
1/4 best mph 133.75
0-60-----2.9s (recorded on a 1.77 60ft pass)
0-100----6.5s (same 1.77 60ft)
60-130---7.3s (on a 10.87 heat soaked pass)

No chance I lifted the skinnies. The track was completely hit or miss. The very next pass I flat footed it like I did the 10.51 pass and blew the tires off instantly. They did some track prep but the big horsepower cars actually made a bare spot at the line and were spinning too. This fall should be interesting.

Keep up lol. Man I watched you roll of the line nice and easy and bust off a 10.80 with the car not even running right. Just on a hard launch you would break my record. Looks like we are going to have a lot of nights working until 2am again lol.

No they are just coated kleemann headers. I might be trying some custom long tubes this summer though.

Wow, that's amazing. With your heads and boost level, it would be fun to see what would happen to your ET and traps after LTs. Conventional thinking says major bottle-neck, but the proof is in the pudding!

Congrats brotha, and your car is a fine example of been the E55 WORLD RECORD HOLDER.

You will definitely be able to handle your business on the street too, which makes me proud for you to be KING.

If no one was chasing your record, our small group of drag guys in this platform would not continue to push the envelope, and make these sleds faster.

I am very happy for you mang!!!!!!!
