> [@misteroman](#): > > Great job!!! Hoping for 9’s and running a 9.4 must have made ya pretty dang happy for sure! That is exactly why I didn’t mke more passes to try to go faster. Crushed my goal and decided to drive it home in one piece. Now I need a new goal! 8.9 @ 150+ next outing? > [@Xander](#): > > Damn. :tup: That looked like it went down the track straight and clean too. That’s amazing considering how fresh this build is. > > X… Thank you. I just installed double adjustable rear shocks and need to dial them in but otherwise this chassis is great. Low drama, straight, hooks pretty damn good. Overall the build has only had a few issues to sort. > [@DigRacer](#): > > Great times. That car is moving for sure! You still have about 3 tenths of improvement you could knock off that 60’ and you would be in the 8’s! For sure. I havent found where it spins yet. I tried a 2psi launch on the 9.9 run. got a 1.8 60. Next pass did a 5psi launch and did a 1.6. Next time im going to try 8psi on the footbrake and that should be about what we need. I also will try the T-Brake next outing. Also if I am still on a very VERY easy tune. Im letting the boost do the work for now. ---
