New Best!

I took the opportunity to run in nice conditions at Cecil last night. Drove over 200 miles each way to do it. Cooled the truck and prepped to race. Got my new best of 11.26@124.8. This improves on last seasons best time which was 11.50@118.
This may be the last serious run on this tune and combo even though there is quite a bit left on the table. 60' times were a soft 1.676 and I ran 1.61 on 2# less boost last year. At least .2 to gain there, and the tune is fat and with conservative timing. Weather will probably not get any better than last night until fall. By then I will have added a nitrous kit and reworked the suspension.
Just showing everyone that the MP is capable of some very good times. It is not a twin screw, but it is not too far off.
Thank you TEAM JDM for the stout motor package which is running this strong, and lets me drive unlimited distances to run these #s. It is exactly what I wanted. Be talking to you soon for the next step!
Jim

Thanks Vin. I can only imagine what could have been if I did not spin. Also if I can drop some lbs.Just joined a gym and will start working on my track times there. Starting from 290 lbs, going down to 220. I bet it will help a bit.

Killer Times dude! I'll bet that felt like a rocket going down the track.

Hey, if you don't mind, shoot me an email to alord99@hotmail.com I got a few questions about your set up.
Thanks
