Couple new pics
Had Sound Performance do a boost by gear tune and wire in a traction control switch with indicator lights back in May and more recently had them redo the weld on the upper radiator neck and powdercoat the whole radiator. Their work and customer service is flawless as usual!

Thanks man.

We took it to the track for the first time. It was pretty cold, made most of my passes at 25psi in the tires and just worked on launching it. The only clean pass we got in, there was a passenger in the car and they told me I had to let off on the 1/8th because running less than 14 seconds with a passenger was not allowed. That would've been the best pass of the night (far better than any others off the line) but had to let off half way down the track.

I couldn't get any other clean passes in due to inexperience and just trying different things. First pass of the night was 11.6 (setting 1 on the proefi).

The rest of the passes were on settings 3-4.

Best pass was a 10.9 @149mph with a terrible launch, etc.

Had a bunch of 11.1-11.2 passes at over 150mph trap speed.

The hardest part about racing a car you built for a long time is getting to know it once again. But that thing hooks. Amazing!

A 10.9 and consistent 11's @ 150

Having read about your car evolving from its previous build into this one and finally seeing it go is pretty awesome!
