Probably not until March. My February is completly booked up.

I plan on the same as the tune I got from Vince this week is pretty solid on a first try. Have to close up my plugs now as I'm breaking up in high rpm range.

Yeah that also lmao. I know 3 & 5 are bad. Was planning for a spring or summer swap of maybe all of them from a wreck LLT. Not going forged just yet.

Wife is pregnant and that comes before the cost of the pistons lol. Wish I could get new oem pistons or forged right now.

We've got at least .2 to pick up on the 60' so I don't see why an 11.3 isn't possible once we figure the throttle problem out.

I'll post the time slip in the Drag section later. They are all folded up and need to get flattend out before I photograph.

Derek congratulations what an awesome run it looks like all the hard work is paying off so please enjoy it.
And we all know if this was a 1/4 mile pass you would be the new king but it wasn't so your not LOL. So the fist challenge was who will be the first to break into the 11's and we all know how that turned out. So what is next the first to have to be forced to put a roll cage in or do we just say the first in the 10's let me know LOL.

Thanks Rich. Full weight and with the front sway attached by the way .

Don't know what should be next. May have to do some 60' challenges. Personally, I want to make a sub 11.5 pass in full street dress.

I'm going to hate driving all the way over to Memphis to make one pass and get kicked off the track. However, they didn't kick Rhino off when he made his 11.3 pass. Maybe they'll let it slide a bit for TnT.

Congrats Rhino and team!!!! Your making history here. I expect 10 seconds when all is sorted out. This is unreal when you look at 2-3 years ago.

Amazing!!!

I've been getting questions about how we mounted the scavenge pump so you don't hear it. The trick was getting it off the body and in the center of a support member. Here's some photos Rhino took so others can do the same.
