Just not sure that I understand the comparisons of what 'that' car runs compared to this car etc. The car runs 10.20 and will prolly go faster so who cares what else runs this or that. It was a great run regardless of what anything else runs. We all know of a bunch of cars going 9's...'they' are going fast too. Good for them too!
Personally, I would love to see you go 9's in street trim first and then go and remove weight. I think you can do it and would like to see that!
Either way, don't get tied up in this guy went this fast and that guy went that fast...who cares...you're going fast and well deserved...nuff said!

I think it could go 9s full weight with a good tune and the suspension setup right but I won't be able to get that by tomorrow. Maybe this fall I will try to hit 9s full weight. I took the seats out today and put a race seat in. Nothing drastic.

I did make a new intake setup for it today so I'm hoping that will gain a little power.Thanks. Yea I don't adjust it too much. Just small increments until I get it to where I want it to be. I log my runs and look at the data after the run. I also glance at the gauges to make sure everything is ok. Would be nice to have a solid tune and not have to mess with anything
Awesome! See you in the am! I hope you're right. The key is the suspension. If it doesn't rub I think it should do it!

Sorry guys no 9s. Couldn't get the car to hook all day. Then the car tried to kill me at 100mph by dumping oil all over the tires. Had to drive its wheels off to keep it out the wall. Steve was there helping me and I think he got some of it on video.
It went quicker than that veyron now in similar DA though lol
