Time to kick it up a notch then............have at 'er till you get a timeslip that starts with 9.
maybe dial it in then go to a good fast track like Mission BC near sea level.

As I understand it, it was first broken at Maplegrove raceway in PA 10.56@129, didn't see much for other details (IE who did it). Then CT Performance out of Rimby broke it 10.38@130, Then finally as you mentioned Idahorob 10.07@130.
This is quickly about to become a 9sec class.
Blackout looks like it is shaping up to be the place where it happens.

I am having technical difficulties between my camera and my computer,, LOL,, not bad for a computer technician,, just havent had any time to make them talk.. I will get them up soon though I promise
As for traction, I am not too worried about that,, my issue I think is going to be weight,,, all these guys are just over the 6000 mark, im going to be just around the 7000 mark... But I am going to go for broke

I'll bring my grinder, I can find 1k lbs. worth of steel to cut out!
If you get that turbo spooling, you will be in the thick of things quite easily. I'm more worried about getting your head gasket seated before throwing lots of power at it. I think you will have to drive it to Edmonton instead of trailering it to get some miles on it. Should be fun with a hood(less) stack.
Safe to say that IdahoRob is running twins? Would be awesome to see a single turbo rig at the top of the heap. Even better if its yours.

Kev, this is easy, just keep the foot on the floor. Don't lift this time, ok.
Man if you street drive that truck, man it has to be the baddest street truck ever.

She is pretty bad... Yes Robs truck is twin turbos... did you notice that the record got beat 3 times,, the fastest being a 10.07 @130 Im right there or better with MPH,, so it is just a trick of getting it to go quicker,, lighter we go,, got some ideas that we can try Tate,,,,

I've got some ideas, none that would pass safety though.
I just read that thread on CompD that Aaron started, same record broke three times at three seperate tracks, pretty cool. Hopefully you will be holding that again in 3 weeks.
