So should we start guessing times while we wait for the video?
We know they broke the old record of 11.1xx.

So into the 10s I say!

I would agree but hoping to see maybe a 10.6 or 10.7, not sure what they dialed the tune to but with that 7AT built along with other upgrades they would really romp on that launch without worrying about much snapping I would think.

i agree! i would love to see mid-10s and have the FI TT 7AT reign supreme lol

i'm thinking that the power level plus the quickness of the 7AT an axle upgrade could be the way to go. ensure you can just floor it and cut a nasty 60' time.

Yeah, if this was just TT plus built tranny I would say high 10s, but hoping for more mid potentially with the axle upgrades which gives them some breathing room on the launch.

considering that this is the first real test of the FI AT upgrades i feel they should have or did launch as hard as possible to see what it can take.

Update,

Saturday was an eventful day to say the least! A success considering the DA (Density Altitude), 100* weather, track conditions and lack of cooperation from the Z in the early going. In the end, we gathered a lot of solid data and a few world records along the way.

As of tomorrow, we are removing the 7AT and improving on our modifications. The Excedy clutches are a major improvement over stock but we are not quite there! More clutches will do the trick. This turnaround should be relatively short and we plan to be back at the track in no time.

As for the rest of the car: chassis, rear end, engine, axles, turbo system, diff bushings, exhaust system, and flex plate...they all rose to the occasion and performed flawlessly.

In closing, the transmission with the current upgrades would perform great on the street but that's not good enough for us! Perfect or nothing less.

For now here is video of Saturdays testing for your viewing pleasure:

To all that participated, thank you for your commitment and support throughout. You all made it possible!

Very nice! Congrats! Imagine if it was in the 40s

Did you do any weight reduction?

Bravo! :tiphat:

I was disappointed in all the hype if it was only the 11.09" pass, but you built the viewing to a crescendo.

10.91 @ 130 is solid and deserves props. I'm envious of that time card. (I tried!)

Good for you, good for your client, good for your future customers.

You know there is more in there. I'll stay posted.

An honorable bow. :)
