Default Tuned ISF back to the 1/8 Mile flashlight drags

I posted some vids before of this it's a 1/8 Mile heads up big flashlight drag race held at a local Airfield. Car rent awesome the only issue I was having with wheel spin off the line which I can't figure out because I was running my track tires with your 275 Center rear Michelin Super Sport vs. My last trip here with my street are set up with your 255? Anyway so I raced an SRT Jeep Twice first time it was interesting because I didn't take him too seriously second time I beat him pretty good one both times but had to work for it the first time. Turbo Cobalt not sure the mods but a hundred mile per hour Club sticker on the window so we know it traps over a hundred in the quarter. A brand new Camaro SS and modified Mustang 5.0 that the drivers I was making about 460 horsepower on a 93 octane tuned exhaust and intake mods race them 3 times beat him twice. Enjoy the vid.

Your passenger mirror and camera are set up perfectly to watch your opponents drop back as you pull past them!

Another great video! Are you going to do anymore runs with your friends RCF? Curious as to how that looks like now that you have the tune and RR intake correct?

Very nice runs, agree - camera is nicely placed to catch the mirror as they drop back into it

Love watching your videos. But it has me wondering. Pretty much everyone who has dynoed their car with I/H/E and the tune seems to be putting down around 425 whp on a dyno. But we all know with the limited airflow the car gets during a dyno run that these numbers are probably higer. Then also most people only do a limited amount of dyno runs which doesn't really allow the car enough time to adjust to reach peak power. Does anyone have any guessimate what these cars are really putting down power wise in real world conditions? Especially the way the OP's car just pulls so hard on other cars in his videos. I know there are lots of variables involved, but I would think it has to be more than 425 to the wheels.

Thanks for sharing. Your youtubes always have great tunes & camera angles.

I love it when the domestic drivers ask "What's that thing got in it, anyway?"
