Thanks man. Been somewhat kicked back trying to go rounds and win and waiting for the right time to try an 8. Had some suspension to dial in before we even thought about it. Then a couple guys got REAL close so figured we better do it sooner than later if we wanted to be the first.
Suspension helping the launch proved to be the ticket. We changed nothing on the tuning where we were running 9.14 on fuel. Put a single .09 jet and hit it at 3rd gear. If the timing is right we have a good amount of hp left and are pretty certain we can go 70's and possibly 60's. Soft launch to basically test the new suspension ended up running 5.74 @ 125.8 mph and 8.85 @ 156.7. DA was like 7400 so getting chargers lit was a nightmare. So I cooked my converter. Driver error forgetting about the altitude until about 30 seconds in to trying to spool. Very proud of the accomplishment and grateful for so many that helped. Whether it was parts, advice or just lending a hand. It's all been a significant help all year.
Congrats again man! Pretty happy to get a burnout box view of the pass! I was cheering from in the cab and yelling at the track officials if they saw it. They thought I was crazier than a soup sandwich.
Thanks guys. Billings is up in the air at the moment. Got stuck in a tough spot. Trans that was new and in the truck started giving me problems so I had to pull it out. Then I cooked the converter on the other trans I just put in. And not being back home has things irritating so I'll likely stand down and not hit billings. However I may still attend since I'm out this way already.
Yes but.... They are all on facebook... I personally don't have any. I was flying solo this event. Industrial Injection has a couple from the starting line. I haven't seen a video surface so far from the stands. But I hope to see one.
