C7 went 10.5 at 130 and then they told me to slow it down. It's shifts the 3/4 at like 1100'. Damn 2.72 gear. Only 8 psi

I went 9.9 at 138 with 1.39 60' missing the shifts having never driven a turbo 400 before. I was nervous as shit so don detuned the car so I would be safe. Prob 700 rwhp. Once I make clean passes he promises he'll crank it up.


Don spent all day at the track and both cars performed flawlessly. Class act.

Don cut a 1.38 on the first pass. No suspension tuning yet. Just bolting parts in. We will be making a few changes.

Yesterday it was on a 325/50/15 ET Street. Since we spun the tire all the way around the rim we are going to a beadlock with the x275 MT.

So dons pass in the vid was quicker than yours it looked like watching the counter. No shame man...that's a fast pass and a steep learning curve. You'll get it.
