looks tuff with those high launches.. maybe with some stiff and tight rear suspension it could get a stronger launch without the excessive "take offs"

This is the car that made 540 kw at the wheels isnt it bigpsi and yes it looks immaculate. Was this raced tonight as i remember 1stboostn saying there wasnt no more friday night meetings up there or something or other. Also bewsh it looks like it has a fair amount of suspension work already done to it by looking how straight and even it is taking off compared to the pictures of 1stboostn taking off in his topic.

very very nice looking car!! must have backed off a little? 9.7 @ 136mph seems a low mph for that time? would be very interesting to see what it runs wit more boost into it well done

Mark @ JPC has told me it was only 133mph not 136mph Apparently blow a cooler pipe off in the top end on that pass and the first few passes were on like 14-16psi don't know what it ran Enzo hasn't driven any fast cars before (at least he is driving it) so he will take his time to get used to it and also to iron out any bugs Yes Jeff it made 540rwkw Car is mini tubbed with a 4 link and runs a 28x10-10.5 inch tyre Joe Gauci at PROFAB did the rear end

Thanks guys. We are going to play with the rear to get the 60 ft alittle better and slowly keep winding the boost into it .The last run we put more boost into but due to intercooler pipeing comeing slightly off we lost boost so hopefully next time out we should improve
