Don't get me wrong it looks sweet as can be. But I thought shortly after he got it, he put it into the nines down in FL at nmra?

All it said was that he had a 9 second average so maybe he's lookin for low 9's now. And wasn't it just popping those exploder motors before? Sounds like it should be able to go quicker than 9's too, with the new setup.
I didn't think you could run an air to water IC setup in True Street?

I know the one night Plated was out at my house he was talking about that. He just kept throwing exploder motor's in there. I beleive he was only running low 10's with those combo's not 9's.

You can run the air to water, you just can't add ice to your reservoir once you start your 3 passes. :bigthumb

He was having tranny issues a little while back with it but think he got that figured out.

i bet just one of those explorer motors seen more miles than his built 339 will ever see,i did go thru 2 explorer motors in 3 yrs i can't complain there,the best i got it to go was 10.25 @135mph with a untuned suspension and 1.8 60's it had a 9's in it if i would have changed some suspension stuff and played around a more but it was pretty much a throw together budget low ten sec car,it's an 8 sec car now he hasn't leaned on it yet, it was off the trailer hit it went 9.49 on low boost not even foot braking,he's building it to run an 8 sec drag radial class.

Yeah Chris, you did a great job with it that's for sure. I still remember coming over to your house that first time I met you, looking at that red coupe and I bought something else from ya too. Then the Pinks thing. I just thought when he first bought it from you he did something to it and it went into the 9's. I was gonna say thought that combo should net low 8's somewhere, that was my point. lol.
