Yeah, his launch needs much improvement, but notice, there is virtually no serious weight transfer, so a really good launch attempt is just going to go up in tire smoke. Anyway, with some suspension work, better tires, and some serious driving, he might touch the 9's.

Yeah, the trap speed is good enough to get into the high 9's.

I wonder who will be the first to do a turbo conversion on the GT, I'd love to seee that!

I was in Orlando this weekend but didn't know he was going to be there.
I was having fun at MGM with ESPN the weekend.
That is a pretty fast car.

Cams and a tune, I believe.

Sorry, I dont keep up with it that much. What he does at the track is great but Im a little wary of his racing activities otherwise.

In any case, its a badass car.

Oh I thought that was mentioned before.

Yes. He was spraying on that run. 60 ft times were around 2.0. They had been much better without the spray. Like 1.6?

If I come across it Ill let ya know. The guy is pretty liberal with info about his car, I just don't keep up with it. What I do know is from conversation with the car guys.

You postive that he was spraying? I know the car has a pully and custom tune, which netted almost 700rwhp.

this was on a 50 shot...and 60ft times looked like 1.9-2.0's...it will go lower 10's with a better launch
Ok. I did some digging. This is a quote from one of his friends.

Yes. He was on nitrous on THAT run.

can you find out why he almost killed it off the line, and whether he was having issues launching? is he gonna try again, and like, not kill it off the line?

honestly I think he lost like a second just from doing that. dare I say, at LEAST a second.

They are going for 9s. And now that Ive killed the search engine on my local boards I may have made the cam thing up in my head as I cant find where that was a mod listed, even though I heard it was

Ive asked for an up to date list. I should have all the info by tonight.

I don't know about a second, but for a .1 reduction in 60' it equals roughly .2 down the quarter. I bet with a good launch this car is a mid-high 9s car.

It's possible that the launch isn't a screw up. There appeared to be bracket racing dial-in times on the scoreboard. The guy might have a throttle stop installed if he's serious about his racing. Doubtful, but possible.

the way it was in the video, is smaller pulley, full race exhaust, drop in K&N filters and a dry 30 shot of nitrous...the car made 728rwhp and 713 trq on the bottle..and 670rwhp off the bottle
This is the response I got. He was later corrected to add a tune. Apparently he told people in person it was a 50 shot, but thats all hearsay.

awesome... but why would you bother with a 50 shot at that point, lol

Ya, he pooched it off the line. Wonder what it would run on a perfect launch.
