I would like to also clarify, that I NEVER used Launch Control, car was on street tires, so I was easing out of 1st, then 2nd, still spinning going into 3rd until it hooked...just wanted to clarify for those of you that were not there . Also, the first day I did around 20 runs and the second day around 15 runs...the car is a BEAST!
i saw this thing make a dozen 182-183 passes Sunday. these Sunday records will stick around for a while as conditions were perfect. congrats - will update your MPH on the 1/2 mile list! based on the 60-130 and the trap 1/4 trap Im assuming this makes same or more HP than Blackwells built 4.0L car?

What a weekend my dude! Well deserved I am super excited for you and super proud. I remember when we first started talking years ago, the moment stuck in my head. I was Logging my first E85 set-up 997TT remember? And going over your set-up and needs on the 997. Thank you so much for the opportunity pal and your dedication to the hobby. You pushed me a lot for more go juice lol and I said no most of the time but we did it safe and clean...and then some. Super happy! Great job keeping in it roasting the tires through he gears and hauling ***! Mostly, like many of my guys I appreciate the faith in the process to safe, reliable performance. You did it all to complete the recipe and we kept getting faster and faster dialing her in to be the best becoming friends throughout the process. Like I have said before that is the best part of getting to do this for a living! It's an honor and a pleasure to call you a friend. Congratulations!
Sam,
This was an amazing weekend for all of us, all the dedication and determination to all involved paid off. The bond that we have goes both ways, we trusted each other and the results speak for themselves. We are family and you know that!!!
Thank you again for the all the support and hang tight because we got more coming.
