(My eyes aren't great) Looks like consistent mid 11 to low 12s, in that heat, that is pretty damn strong. Nice work Jim, looking forward to seeing her when she can breathe some cold air....

he's at 11.6 now...so a 10 is possible. He's running 120 mph...he's going to need to hook up better for better 60 ft times, and increase the MPH a little...but, anything is possible...I cut a whole second off the roadster in 2 yrs of modding and at $2k....not bad huh?....lol....toys, cost you money...now take that times 2.... Anyway, with enough work, experimenting, and time...it is possible...I just want 11's...lol...

Do you have slicks on order? I believe your 8fire has high 10's in the future and I'm rooting for you to get there soon.

no slicks yet testing the axles and driveshaft to see it either brake under drag radials. added 70lbs to the rear of the car and got the radials to hold for 3 runs but only got 1.81 to 1.86 60' more test in a week or so. jim
