Re: MAPerformance steps into the 9's @ 148mph

I know you guys really wanted high 8s, I hope you can figure out what was keeping you back. I would have expected a much greater inprovement (10.14 to a 9.92) for all the money spent.

An 8 second pass is more like a dream at this point lol. As we found out yesterday improvements in regards to ET at this level are not easy. But we know what's holding us back and that is the drivetrain. After breaking TWO rear axles within the first three passes we figured out that we couldn't even use our new drag radials. In fact we may have went faster on our old street radials!

Who would've thought that a man who used to be a mere Lube Tech from Maplewood Toyota would be able to pull this off (off course with the help of MAP). Good Job Boyz. Kyle I think you need to cut your front bumper and put that huge front mount on there like how you had your first talon.
