I just got back from River City Raceway. In between my runs in the RSI car(details will follow soon,we set new record), I ran my car. 1st pass, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected].
My 60ft times weren't the best partly because my car is set up for the road course, and because of the instant power of the blower. My best 60ft was 1.56. With more practice, I should be able to run 10.50's. Thanks Sean for a great product.

Sheesh, that is a VERY impressive time SW. Congrats!

Do you mind sharing a few pointers on Viper dragstrip technique?

Congrats on a great time. Other than the blower, what mods are on the car (or if its easier, what was the before and after rwhp)

Thanks in advance.

I've been getting alot of e-mails about what else I have done to my car besides the S/C.Here is the list. Long tube headers, cat back exhaust, 70mm throttle bodies, K&N's, T&D rockers. No internal mods. Still drives like stock, except FASTER...

Before S/C, 460rwh/485rwt, after 597rwh/607rwt.

10.65 @ 133.6 is just plain flying!!! Congrats.

And you're disappointed with a 1.56 60 ft. time?

Your reputation is obviously well earned.

Good to know that I (based on your car and times), on my best day (if I ever have one

) can likely take my car below 13 sec.

Thanks for the info on your other mods. I'll have pretty much the same except for the 1.7 roller rockers. And your driving skill.

You can say that again. We've been enjoying clear skies with daytime temps in the low 70's and dawn temps of about 50. Great air!
