Killer Time,

Yeah you need the hydraulic hand break Car rolling alot. How
Much boost do you build on the 2 Step?

It really depends on how much pre-load I can get out of it before it starts to creep forward, but on those passes I was building around 13-15lbs on the 2step while pre-loading. Without pre-loading it only gets about 3-4lbs.
 
Nice job man vid works for me, with a little better track prep I'm sure you can easily get into low 9's!

Damn Jake, killer time. Was that 10,000rpm rev limiter still on the stock valves w/ the crower valve springs setup?
Yup, OEM standard valves with the crower valve springs/retainers.:D

Video is working fine, downloads just fine, are you downloading this one?

Right click and save as. If it's not playing for you, then you need to update your old ass codecs, it's WMV codec, everyone should beable to play it.:D

As far as "look out shep" that will never happen, Shep is in a league of his own, there would be no way no how I would ever catch shep.

As far as how much power it's making, I dunno, haven't dynoed it yet and not really planing on to either. But if I were to geuss, I would say around 900-920whp with the weight of the car being at 2930lbs race weight.
 
Any way to get that weight down? With it a little lighter, you might be able to gain a little time.
