That is flying having not been tuned and people can believe me if they want but i was shifting at 6400 and pulled into second at about 5k on accident. You expect me to go 10s my second pass ever in it? LOL

I was thinking about it but I am trying to figure out what to do to make the rear strong enough to drag but keep IRS. Obv this is not ideal and I will break whatever I put in probably but I am exploring options. I am excited to get a new rear, tuned, drop more weight then chase 10s cam-only this season. Probably a long shot but that is the goal.

SO much for the “road-race” car, lol. Skinnies, slicks, solid rear, chasing 10’s cam-only! You can’t escape your true roots! LOL.

You sir are confused. Still has everything necessary to be a road race car. Why can’t I drag race it too? Just to be clear…  
This car WILL NOT get a solid rear and will still see road racing events. However drag racing is fun too. This car was built ground up for a reason…to build the car how I wanted it. it is dedicated to do what I want it to and not any specific type of racing. 🙂

hahaha i know! Honestly the 11.8 was a very easy shakedown run. I am super stoked on that time for how easy i drove it and being untuned!!! STOKED!

I am going to wrench monday and think I am going to swap to a ford IRS that I will probably still explode.
