Richmond dragway (Friday, April 11)
how did everyone run?
After anticipating for 2 fuckin weeks my trailing arm broke on the drive to the track. bout 75mph the fucker broke and let go of the lower control arm i have NEVER heard of such a thing happening...ended up taking a tow truck home. that's what i get for driving on these piss poor excuses for roads with 1000lb drag springs/struts on the rest of the suspension which has 200k+ miles. I'll see you guys next time

Thanks.. as you saw, had some bugs to work out getting out the hole.. top end is working fine.. haha.. first pass was totally my fault, I had fucked with some settings on the EMS and car didn't like it, and I got stuck on the line at too low an RPMm and the car bogged down terribly for about 100 feet.. second time My dumb ass thought he had staged fully and stalled up too early. Car started to pull through the brakes too hard and I had to let it go, and in my attempt to halfway save that pass I ended up fucking that all up too (let off the footbrake but forgot to drop the E-brake at first.. I paniced and made a stupid mistake). I'll be back as soon as I get the launch figured out. Pisses me off, as I had tested it on the street and everything worked perfect.. that's the curse of the track I guess.. shit never works when people are watching!

I heard you ran a 13.3 @ 137!?!?! That's crazy in a Bad and Good way. I'd say your top end is good to go... Sounds pretty nasty for a street car.
I am on low boost we havent even tuned on high boost yet. My low boost is 14psi and the high boost will be tuned as soon as I get my boost controller to work. Ask Shue he tunes my car. I should have run better times but I ran out of 4th gear and didnt want to shift into 5th. Plus 22" slicks on a fwd turbo car sucks. I might be out there again in a week or 2. I had my manifold crack for the 23847923856342x and got a hole in the driver slick.
