That's SERIOUSLY fast! Congrats guys!

To put it into perspective, I've got a customer with a GTR that puts down about 1200 hp at the wheels and ran an 8.8 (or something very close to that) with a speed of 176mph. A Porsche doing 172 is no joke!!

Nice to meet you Mitch, I was lucky to be able to watch the pass before heading home. With a launch the car is going 8's I can promise you that.

No vbox. I was on an airplane when this happened, so I didn't get as much data as I would have hoped.

Side note a stock ECU GTR went 7.4 at 189 on an AP yesterday! It was pretty insane.

+1 50mph is CRAZYYYYY

second 1/8mile time less than 3s... that says a lot about the power of this car and how fast will be on the highway...

Congrats for this amazing build, thought 3794 are overkill for our setup, but seems is working.. WOW !!

50 on the long end is insane. 30 mph is more normal in these cars.

This is a huge accomplishment (trap speed) and should be congratulated by everyone.
Do you have video of this car running ?

Nice job !!

Is it simply a slow start then BOOM!! rocket down the 1/4 mile? Am I missing something?

slow soft launch = low et but no effect on trap speed

that is incorrect. a bog or a roll out drop trap speed 100%. if you spin out the hole that doesn't effect trap speed much.
