    Well we finally made it up to Lebanon Valley for some testing today! We had an awesome time with the car, and it is amazing how well it ran first time out! Unfortunately, I was stuck with stock suspension and really old slicks. I didn't have time to do the suspension work I wanted to before the rental, and the only tires available we a set of older slicks that BillBoost was kind enough to let me use.

    Anyways...the title probably gives it away haha....the car ran a best time of 11.07@133mph today! I backed that up with a 11.00@125mph lifting at the 1k foot mark. This was all on the wastegate....no boost controller. Once we sort out the suspension and turn up the boost....this car has potential to run some ridiculous numbers!

    Just badass. Eleven first time out, congrats! If it ends up being nicely streetable (seems like it should) it would be a FWD terror-inducer lol. Nice fab work, nice results. Now you just need paint thats equally as loud and obnoxious!

    Awesome runs man.

    It looks extra nose heavy though, just from the way it kinda bobbed when you backed up and rolled back forward.

    bills a dick for not giving you some vintage GTO spring blockers he's using as a water saving device in his toilet tank

    the bobbing might be related to the oem strut mounts "pogo" but is probably mostly the tire/sidewall and low pressure.

    yup, some suspension work and you can start breaking parts like the rest of us shmucks

    I'd have given blockers...if I had any. Bonne had drag bags.

    Looks great Brandon, those runs were on pump gas? I think it's an awesome starting point and can only get better with each thing you do to it. Awesome!!
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
