Won't do anything impressive. Going out on my 19s with Nitto INVOs and as AWD. I think I'm going to end up on the rev limiter before the end of the track due to the fact I'm on a 25.9" tall tire, but we'll see. That means I'll be limited to 145mph or so @ 7800 RPM. I don't want to ride the rev limiter down the track, well that is if it does go that fast. I'll have in car video if it does so people will see proof that it does LOL!

Well plans may change depending on how I feel tomorrow now. My right side of my neck hurt when I shaved this morning, and now there is a small lump there and it is hurting like a biatch to move around my head. I had this happen about 4 months ago, so I just think something gets inflamed. It's just puts a limit on what I can and can't do. If it doesn't hurt in the AM then it's game on.

We were not on full boost and Chris had turned down the timming for the first runs. Traction was so bad the car would tried to cross the middle in 3rd gear, Then he would shift 4th and it pull towards the walls. I know it sounds like alot of excuses but if you all were there you would have been like holy crap I cant believe he didnt die. The 19's just could hold Oh well we will try again.

19s + 868rwhp = Deadly combination at the track. Hell even on the freeway when I made a solo pass in the car I came inches from hitting my buddies truck when the car shot over to the next lane after brake boosting in 3rd gear. I have never felt that uncomfortable going down the track. I'll have to wait till I order my 27" MT Drag Radials on Bogarts to go back.

Are you seriously going to buy Bogarts? If money is an issue, buy some used Welds or wait to buy another quality wheel. Bogarts are serious POS wheels.

And stop being a ***** at the track - I don't want to hear about you lifting on a mid 11 sec pass!

This is why one should never predict their traps BEFORE you go to the track with a new set-up. The car looks fantastic !! and I sure will run very, very quick, once you figure out how to set it up for what you are trying to accomplish. Good luck next time out.
