So you have only broke one t-case after running all of those 9 second passes?

Could you get in car footage?

Yup, only 1 transfer case breakage so far (knock on wood) we always bring 2 spares out to the track with us, a spare rear end, 4 spare rear axles and a spare drive shaft haha. Luckly we haven't had to change any of it out.

I will try to get some incar footage. We've been using the camera for outside shots to learn more about what the car is doing off the line and on the 1-2shift. Suspension tuning is fun:rolleyes:

A friend of mines talon ran 9.90's and he used all stock drivetrain components except clutch obviously. He tried the aluminum DS and he kept breaking transfer cases and axles. He put the stock driveshaft back in and never broke another t-case or axle.

Congrats on your achievements!!

Only thing I can say on how it feals is that it feal pretty retarded, like it's hydroplaning on dry road at WOT.

I think a better way to describe it is, it feels almost like a slipping clutch. You see the RPM's jump up, you feel the power in the clutch but you sure as shit aint going no where quick.

Nope, track would not hold anymore then 37lbs of boost, anymore then that then I was going into the wall. Every run was a drift session for me. It scared the shit out of me all day, best runs of the day were a 9.34 @154mph and a 9.31 @155mph in the finals, all the other runs were 9.60's on low boost. But she made it home in one peice and with a 6ft. tall throphy, $1000 check and $300 for contingency:banana:

ot the chance to watch him run at BOTI! That was fantastic! Took down everyone, and their names!!! It was an honor to watch, get pictures of his car on the line, and some videos of this car in action!

That's what makes this mother fucker so badass.

Everything about your car just amazes me. I like how you don't fuck around either. Motor blown Friday and racing 9second passes on Sunday :)

I would like to shake your hand.
