Should of taken a ton of pictures of all the old American iron that was at the eight mile facility -- some door slammers were running 5.1's in the heat of the day (it was 90 deg F)
I ran 8.5's and 8.6's all day at 90 mph at 10 lbs boost and 22 lbs of pressure in my street tires -- and more importantly drove it back onto the trailer LOL
The Fiat was the talk of the event after my first pass

12.87 at 111 with a intake gasket leaking -- -- probably explains low mph -- Engine is 2165 78x94 turbo'd currently running on 10 psi so I can launch it without the wheel stands -- was looking to get a 2 stage boost controler for higher boost after the launch B U T Been having giant row with the wife -- so the Fiat is for sale if you know anybody interested -- the purpose is either make her happy that it is gone or a grub stake for me to survive on if I'm gone |

ou are right about the Fiat never talking back -- but it can be a very expensive date LOL
And if it was just a question of me vs. her I would of been long gone but when the kids are involved then. . . . . . sometimes there are never any answers
