Update: finally got this thing all together and made the first run on it. In about 15 mins, I blew separate pipes outta the couplers and t bolts!! I got some help form some friends today, and got the pipes bead rolled, got them back on tonight and I drove it for about an hour poundin the piss outta it and it ran perfect!! Looks as if test n tune is a go tomorrow. Maybe even might get it inspected in the morning ;)

Well..... I guess I should give some explanantion after that lol I will start off by saying, in some warped sort of way, I consider this night a success!! I accomplished three good things. I FINALLY broke in the 100 MPH club, new personal bast, and joined Bob Myers School of Hard On Parts!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA its never a bad night when you can get out of the car laughing after ya broke it I guess...
Enough of that. Car went a new best of 13.4@100.4 with not that great of a 60. Dont got the slip in front of my face, but it was in the 1.86 range? I launched off the rev limiter (6250) on the Hoosiers at 12.5# of air. I ended up actually dead hooking and bye bye 8.8!! hahahahahahahaha O well, bild it better for next time, right....?
Thanks to all who helped me tonight in every way, I really appriciate it!!

And o.... Just for reference, that 8.8 was out of Bobs old TurboCoupe that had around 160 passes on it the last year he had it nto to mention all the hard street miles he put on it, and then its been in my car for about 4 or 5 years now doin the same shit!! It had ZERO shame!!
