    Default Finally Got There

    ET 9.756
    139.19 mph
    1.414 60'

    After getting the car in the low 10s a few years ago I made the natural goal of going for 9s. A trail of broken parts and bad luck conspired to keep me from getting there. Today I finally broke through the barrier. First run was a 9.81. Next run was my new PB above. I could have pressed on and tried for 9.6 later in the day with even better DA, but the supercharger pulley and hub decided to separate themselves from the shaft. DA was -951 at the time of that pass. A good day at the RCR track rental.

    Getting the supercharger hub reconnected to the shaft. After that, I still need to get a 5" intake put on. Then the hunt for a 9.6. Not much else I can do without changing the setup completely.

    5" diameter cold air intake pipe. Lot's of V guys run them, but there is a debate about how much more power they make over a 4.5" intake. If you don't have a ported blower and a 102 throttle body (which TMH has), you still have a choke point downstream.
