    Yes, Congrats to our TopSpeed sponsored customer Mike (Gastroker). He ran a 9.58 at 156mph I believe he was fastest time of the day. And highest MPH. He also won 2nd place in his class. Leaked a little water and they kicked him off. Great job man!!!!!

    it was on medium boost around 550whp.

    Dave cut a 1.9 60 ft, normally he is in the 1.5-1.6 range but the car was just brutal off the line an spun my ET streets.

    He hung on in 1st an second good, but when he hit 3rd an boost hit, the car drifted hard left then swayed back right. I have NEVER seen FEAR in Turbo Daves eyes until he came back from the finish line LOL

    The car was very unstable, and we will be working on tightening the chassis up. A roll cage is def in store for it along with some other suspension mods.

    The car was on race gas because its a race car, i always run race gas in it.

    Yes that was my first 9 sec pass.
    It was quite a feeling. My shit always seems to have dumb problems, like, slave cylinders breaking, starters going bad, & IC pipes blowing off. Last year it was always the clutch or transmission. The bugs are slowly but surely going away. Now I just need to get consistant....and faster of course

    What's all done to your Supra?? Did you buy it used from a slim white guy?? The reason I asked is b/c I'm always up at AAP and I know there was one that they did a TH400 a year or probably even longer than that. They actually did the whole progressive buildup of that supra but anyways-Congrats on your times and best of luck w/ the beast.

    Hey guys,

    Sorry for the late reply.
    Here's the timeslip.
    reaction: .902
    60 foot: 1.560
    330 foot: 4.210
    1/8: 6.328
    mph: 116.44
    1/4 9.592
    mph: 156.00
    And, here's a video with a pic of the real timeslip at the end.
    http://www.andrewwarren.com/vids/mike9.5.mpg

    I run 255x50x16 BFG drags. I was spinning pretty good in first and got some bad tire hop. There's definitely more in the car without using the NX. I've only beenusing the NX for spool up so far this season. I will try and get to the dyno soon and do some full pulls with the gas. I short shifted into 3rd and 4th so I think I could have broken 120 in the 1/8 and shaved a 10th of the ET.
