Nice! Is that with the new turbo set up, or is that still with the SC? Either way, how much boost?

Here is a video of the 12.09 run. Take a look at the soft launch. This could have been an 11.90's run with a serious launch.

Nice one man! Yeah, looks like you would have broke into the high 11's easily with a hard launch! When is the turbo going in? The car looks a lot different then last time I saw it, when it was still on BRMs.

I have decided to run the blower until after the race in Ennis. I will then put the turbo in and be ready for the drag day in September.
The bug looks different because I am running 9" wide Hoosier slicks on ERCO rims.

In the video it also looked like its gray and white now instead of blue and white. How much boost do you run with the DLI set up? What's the car weigh?

4 new fenders in primer. I am running 7 psi on the DLI. I haven't weighed the car so I don't have an exact weight with all of the modifications that have been done.

Well, here is what I have to get done.

1. Front wheels Line-Loc. Never had one before. I will have to use one so I don't spin so bad off the line.
2. Severe weight reduction. I can't say too much as its proprietory where I will remove from. Aside from the usual front pass. and rear seat and such, there are other places I will remove from. Ain't telling. w:pw
3. New heads. This is where I am going to spend some serious coin. :wow:
4. Going thru my carbs. Sticking with my 44IDF's. Just going thru them to ensure all is well.

I believe this is all for now.... Yeah right... :dance:
