Don went 10.0 I went 9.9. So needless to say I will be driving his x275 car this year. Lol

Congratulation, glad you are back.

Glad to see you back at it! Been missing that car and your adventures!

Mr. Nasty · 05-31-2014, 10:41 AM

Looks like your on the right track with the new set up

. Looking forward to see how low it will go.

Thanks. It'll start seeing reg track duty again as we make changes and get things dialed in.

U getting comfortable with the combo will net ET gain as well. I'd bet this thing settles in at low 9s pretty consistently.

Awesome runs!! So how do you like it compared to the old setup when it was running good?

It'll take a few trips to get gd with the 1/2 shift. It's def a whole new world but a lot of fun.

Very different. Way more fun. Car just felt more solid underneath me but we pretty much changed everything so it's hard to compare. Just happy to make a bunch of passes and then drive it when I got home!!

Changes are in the works. Just ordered sone x275 tires and don is getting a custom built stall in the works. The stall we have is way to inefficient.

You had it easy before.
Now you really need to learn how to drive and shift that thing and keep it between the rails.....

True!! It's not as bad as I thought. It's real is boring just stepping on the gas. I went 10.5 in the c7 and was like this sucks. Lol. Now I know it's me holding the car back.

10aSSee D · 06-01-2014, 08:22 PM

Nice, so you like the centri a lot better than the Maggie or same...

jessrayo · 06-01-2014, 09:48 PM

Looking really good.

Ummm, no comment. Lol

Its all the same to me. Felt the same. All I care about is the slip. But I can tell you this set up detuned is more predictable on the street. The power band is very easy to control. That's a plus.

After next year we can add a huge turbo to this discussion seeing that's what don is planning for next winter.
