Sweet video. I won't bother comparing it to other "amateur videos", in fear of incriminating myself.........
That car is getting more & more awesome by the minute. Props to Joan for helping to "direct". I know the feeling......
Hope to stop by the shop soon - my vow of no mods in '04 has almost expired! (Although will probably have King James hook me up w/ SSK later this month.)

Poor Joan, I feel so bad for her... I really do. If I were her, I would given me the boot years ago. Instead she hooks up my nitrous to the intercoolers- good girl that she is.I miss the polar silver TT and you're right 04 is almost up
SSKs are a great first step!

Yes.......because everyone needs their own steady-cam!
The video would be smooth as silk as James chases you down the dragstrip, video rolling.

Great to hear from ya! Dammit I know! Even with those tires and all we should... I'm going back ASAP with better gas and hopefully get my 29PSI back
24 PSI is fine and dandy but I want that extra 5PSI lol...

1/4 mile times
Hey you guys.... im kinda of new to the this board... So Im still getting familiar with "whos who"...
....I came acroos the video Sharkster posted from the shoot out.... I'm going to post my run I did video and time slip. I have the same 60 foot 1.74sec .. my MPH is only 3 miles off (this run).. I am doing 125+mph as well. but my 1/4 time is 11.5 sec.... about 1/2 second slower.
I used 93 fuel with fvd level 4 computer at k24 turbos,5 bar fuel regulator,evo dv's, gt2 intercoolers. THATS IT. 19 inch rims with yokahamas AVS. That day the car was only pushing 1.0 bars.. thats 14.7 psi. In the video they are running 20 to 24 psi... thats well over 1.5 bars.... and he has the EVO 750hp. what I do not understand is why his car is only doing 126 or 127 MPH trap with that kind of HP. My average is 123 to 125 MPH @ 1 bar(14.7).
I'm not trying to start a controversy nor am I promoting a product.... I was waiting impatiently for the shoot out and thought someone would run in the mid 10's at least.... with cars that had well over 650 rwhp.
...any comments.... is ther something I need to know? The reason i'm actually asking is because I'm looking to upgrade to the 750HP package.
thanks
