Well for me these cars are hard to launch. I estimate I am making about 630 hp and tq at the wheels with the stock blower. I have no suspension mods except M/T tires. I left the traction control on because I did not want to break anything at the track. I made three runs at the track in Shreveport, La and two of them was not that good due to driver mod. However, I had one good run for me. Breakdown of the run is as follows:

60' 1.886
330 4.965
1/8 7.445
MPH 101.59
1/4 11.398
MPH 127.16

It appears the car has the potential to run a fairly low time at the track. For just a street car and the stock blower-I am well please. I had a blast at the track.

Awesome job on that run. People keep writing about going to the track and it's getting me excited to do the same. Hopefully in a few more weeks. Really interested to see what the car will do.
