There is a kid on these boards, Juan Medina, who is going after Xdrian and Junior's numbers. His car seems fast by 1/8th mile numbers. You and Junior should knock 2 tenths off of Xdrian's time just to make things a bit more challenging

With your driving I would be very excited to see mid 11's, but it wouldnt surprise me with the way you slap the stock 5 speed around
Definitely looking forward to lining up at some point! To be honest, I think it should be pretty easy to get into the 11's with a straightforward swap of everything from my old setup to the new V8 engine + VF43. I figure with the 5MT and 8500 rpm to work with, it should just be finding the right shift points. After I make some consistent passes, I'll look into what I need to do to get closer to 11.5.

First dyno with the new engine: WTF 12 psi and lean
Sorry to hear you are having troubles with the new setup, I am looking forward to seeing you make a 1/4 mile pass. Good luck getting it sorted, but at least you have it all in and can track down issues. My engine is stuck at the Canadian border, supposedly pulled off the truck by the EPA for "inspection".

Can't wait to see what this new beastly motor + VF put down! I should be calling you in two weeks or so for new tunes.
