Nice pass, nice looking car and a good reaction time. Air is good this time of the year. Good luck going for the 8's.

Looks great! If wanna see an 8 second pass bring it to Atco. I'm an Island regular, this is not a jab at them at all, I'm just saying I run 2 tenths quicker there because of air quality. Also, stay in it next time!!

Adjust that suspension so you wont see sky and youll be even closer to seeing 8s.

145 is a little low for 8s but i am running nitrous. that pass was on a 175 shot. i think the most i could safely run is a 200 shot. if progressed correctly a 200 shot would do the trick. that pass i shifted at 7800 and trapped at 8000. thats really cranking for a sbc
