I had an amazing time yesterday, and my sled performed great. I first want to say this would not be possible without Jason and Tony @ BI-Performance, they worked hard with me over the past year. They listened to all my gripes, changing combos and provided sound service. Tony is a true master at making power under the curve, and he really customized my tune how I wanted it.
They are a few members on here that helped me ALOT behind the scenes that I would like to mention, although they like to stay under the radar. Hands down a genius, member Adianity on here. Without him, my combo would not nearly be what it is today, second, and a true BAWS as we all know, BK (lowprofile). I had many ideas over the past year that I wanted to try and he gave sound advice on what will and will not work.
I really respect those two guys ALOT
As the day progressed, the car started to run faster and faster, and at that point I started bouncing off the rev limiter on the 1-2 shift. It was reving faster through the rpm band than what the tranny could upshift. The highlight for me was when I ran a 10.87 hitting the limiter, hot lapped the car around, waited for a couple cars ahead of me and then ran a 10.84 9 minutes later, as you can see on the time of the slip..... The DA at the time of my PB was +401.... All of my runs were on the corn (e85) with meth, and spraying my nitrous ring on my heat exchanger. I also packed the trunk mount full of ice.
Donnie also had his E55 there and it ran like a BAWS, 11.28 full weight. Our one run down the track was sweet and it was a battle. Guy is on point when it comes to reaction time, lol.

Very happy for you Craig. An .84 on a hotlap under those conditions is pretty damn bada$$
Thank for the mention, and to be mentioned in the same sentence with Adianity is an honor, but it was all you my friend! Congrats and welcome to the club so to speak.
You ran strong, you ran consistent, and you achieved your goal! Take a bow!

Congrats Craig and thanks for the mention. This is all you buddy and the only thing I can take credit for is listening and reaffirming what you already knew. Funny thing is she has got alot more in her so getting to 10.80's is a start as far as I'm concerned and getting those slips makes all the frustration you went through worth it.
