I must say it was an absolute pleasure, and you and Mike did an amazing job on this event... as for Brandi, I think Jared enjoyed the ride...

I'll hook you up... Got a spot we can do a 40-170 pull... It doesn't have to be too long, but we'll need some shut down area...

Glad you got to go to C5F3 with Brandi, meet all those folks and have a great time. This year was the curse of attendance, but a bunch of us will be rolling for C5F4 !!

Nice smoky burnouts !!

So, Corey and I have made a few decisions.

We are going to build a custom set of shorty headers for the turbo's, to free up some motor breathing ability...

I am going to order a new center section with a different gear set for drag racing.... I'll keep the 3.07 gears for the mile runs and for unlimited open road races, but we'll swap out center sections when needed... The gear ratio is yet to be determined...

There are a few more changes to come but that's it for now...

Are you wanting to use 4th gear in the 1/4 mile?

My niece put this on FB... thought you might get a kick out of it

Nice, I like it... Are you still on the road or on days off...

As for the quarter, that'll depend... If I can get her to launch as she is, I'll stay where I'm at, if not, I'll have to get into 4th on the big end...

Pete has offered to come out and get her dialed in on the suspension... And Corey has the power end handled... So then it'll be on me and that's seat time...

Was anyone checking tire temps after the burnouts? Looks like you got the tires plenty hot
Pete and LPE dropped the black pig's 60' ... If you slip the clutch are you still spinning?
I finally made it home too late to do anything..... I am getting a little done at the house tho... making bullets, shooting bullets, oil change, making pizza, making more bullets, shooting bullets, radiator flush and fill... making more bullets now
