Outstanding run Guy! Kelly is a good man with a fantastic car. Your WIN is WELL deserved to get past Kelly. I bow to you! Hope to see you in person soon.

Tires are Vredestein ULTRAC SUV SESSANTA. Definitely NOT a drag tire. But I need some drag radials soon! Great street tire though...handle and wear great.

Thanks Fred! Yeah it was fun times. I just couldn't get off the line quick with my street tires. Had to ease into it...then reel him in!

Lol you are still that Guy. I think you should have at lease ran a 11.8 in that car. When are you going to the track again I may go with you. I real hate that I had to stay behind looking at the pic and video made me feel better.

Yeah, I agree with you. But like I said...I had slow starts otherwise I would just spin. Even in 2nd gear, my first 150' I had to take it easy on the throttle. But it was pretty hot out too, and these turbos hate the hot weather. I really want to look into a cooling system for that.

Cool day, drag radials...I'd bet I'd run at least an 11.15.

Another track day? I'm not sure, but I want to soon, real soon.

Supercharger dont like that heat too. Did you drop some of your tire pressure? I have the ZL1 tire on my car now it still spin the tires on the street even when I was on the fwy trying to get to Ontario. But I have 35lbs in the tires right now Mike told me run them like that for a while then drop it down to 32lbs and if I am at he track to 28lbs.

The turbos LOVE heat. Heat makes them work better. That huge Granatelli intercooler must be doing its job. I have seen the dyno numbers on this kit at 10psi. Discharge temps were 120 and that was with no fan in front of it. Even in Vegas on a 100 degree day you should be OK. Hot air in means hot air out - sorry

Good seeing you at the gas station on the way back from SEMA. Car looks killer! How did your fuel pump fair on the trip back?

The turbos may "love" the hot air, but my LS hates it. My car runs so much faster at WOT in cool weather temps.

Yeah great seeing you too! Fuel pump was steady...no issues. But also no traffic which was key to getting home without it overheating.
