I went out to Grudge night last night with Epik and a few other buddies. Rob was out there with his burnt orange coupe. His first pass he went 9.93 @ 143 with a 1.46 60 ft.! ..This is rowing the gears with a TKO600 5 speed too! Congrats bro, hopefully It will be my turn to get into the 9's here in a couple months when my Fox is ready.

Matt: Right on, thanks! You gotta hit me up when you go out to the track with slick 'n' skinnies.

Epik: It was a pretty nervous feeling shifting gears. Right off the bat when I dumped the clutch the front caught a little air and pulled to the left... I shifted second and started getting out the groove towards the cones. Not trying to miss third gear I tryed steering it back in ever so slightly with out aborting the run. By then I tryed to see my time on the board (looking for 6.4 or better 1/8 mile), I didnt know what to think since there was a glare and it showed a 6.3 or 6.8.

Luke: Yeah man same car, lol. I try to drive it every chance I get. Only problem is driving in my rear view mirror looking out for jonny law and the smog patrol. I have a NOS kit, i dont really remember the name of the kit(possibly 'super power shot'). The solenoids (small ones) are maxed out at 175hp .

Snakebit95: Nope sorry.

jaejae: Im using a Boss block all forged internals, solid roller cam, high port heads, 750 carb, with a 175 shot.

Puer stang: NOPE.

Bigblock66: Its possible it was me more than likely. My wheels stick out an 1" to run a 1" spacer so I can clear 13" brakes.

Thanks for the comments fellas!

Rob.
