Awesome video, have you had it on the dyno or are those numbers just estimates?

Thank you! The HP number is an estimate based on what each upgrade should provide - AND- how much HP it takes to move a 3050 lb vehicle (including me at 200lbs) through the 1/4 mile at 114MPH.

Are you using the stock fuel tank or a plastic one?

Hi there!☺️
I recently did two days of drag racing here in France.
I managed low 13s with only 1 pass under 13 at 12.994 @109mph. (Must remember that it's not a dedicated 1/4mile track, no track surface preparation, etc... And most of the cars were not doing much better than I was.)

In my runs, Im getting a considderable lag between 3rd and 4th before the boost comes back on. Do you get the same with a supercharger?

Watching you video, I belive we are about the same power WHP. How do you manage to get 11s ?

Any help/techniques would be appreciated to help me progress...?

Best regards,
Rafe
