    Here it is. Our official 8 sec pass. We had another but smoked the lights, I knew it was there but now we have a good slip. And we’ve actually gone faster in the 1/8. This is at a Sonoma Raceway during the national event. Car number 7725 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    We did really well at scsn Texas. Track was on kill, we went faster then ever. Was an 1/8 mile event so wasn’t able to run the quarter, but did up my pb. Also we won our class, the local hell cat gang was pissed. Guess they thought they had it in the bag. We have more in the car but just ran...

    Lol, was a night race. Pass was made at 4am. We didn’t even start making passes till 9pm. Track was really good, almost too good. We had more but just ran out of time. Then the next night started eliminations, had to slow the car down for the 5.80 class I had in. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Lol that car is a beast!! 7.60’s off the trailer with more in it. The only way my car would even come close to that is losing 1500#’s. Then maybe, just maybe it’ll run a 7 or sub 5 in the 1/8. Unfortunately this car will never be that light. I’ll build another before attempting at taking that...

    Thx Rick, it’s been a ton of work and learning. The car has done really well out at UCC/ODR, then Midwest Drags. We’ve been fighting a fueling issue for the past couple years that we’ve finally are starting to get a hold of. With some help from Mark, he’s pointed me in the right direction with...

    Wow!! Ucc was off the hook. Seeing mark above so pumped with all the new pb’s is really cool. Watching all these trucks go rounds was awesome!! I even managed a new pb in the Chevelle. 70’s is in sight. Best pass of the weekend was a 5.81@120 1.31 60’. That was against crazy horse during the...

    NHRA Rulebook Question

    10.0 is allowed with a roll bar and doesn’t need to be inspected or certed. Swing out bars are allowed up to 8.50 cert if built correctly. Entry level certed cages can go up to 8.50. So if your vehicle goes faster then 10 you’ll need a certed cage. That cert is good to 8.50. Sent from my...

    Latest with some changes. LB7, 4500lbs, 400/gear vendors, RF Garage Went in the 70’s a couple weeks ago then again this weekend. Leaned on it a little more and squeezed the 65 out of it. Pretty much tapped out for this combo unless we get on a much better track. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Questions regarding SAC injectors

    With the right person writing your tune you can pass smog/inspection/testing in CA. With an LB7 LLY LBZ LMM, no issues whatsoever, just need to keep all your factory emission stuff on, intact and hooked up properly. Even with sac45’s. Or bigger for that matter.

    Can't flash truck back to stock

    LBZ Dsp tunes cannot be read. The stock tune that was on that ecm went away when he first flashed in the dsp tune years ago. Yes the dealer can flash in a stock tune.
