    Congratulations Gordon on your new best! Gordon has been working hard in 2011, sent the converter back to Lenny (Ultimate Converter) for some changes and bam ....... 8.03 at 182mph! 7s are around the corner! Congratulations on your hard work!

    Congrats Gordon, we're gaining on it and really think we're on track with the new piece. We have a few more upgrades to do and I think this newest converter design is going to be pretty killer in a lot of the big power and tricky turbo combos. This past year has been an extremely busy year at Ultimate with very little time to do a lot of R&D with new pieces, but that time has come to play catch up. :2thumbs:

    PS - How are things Tim, glad to see your hot rod coming around. Keep in touch , Bud

    Thanks guys! I really feel this thing has a 7.8x in it just the way it sits. 60ft on the 8.03 pass was 1.46 and she left on just 4 1/2 lbs of boost ( driver needs to get his shiz together at staging :stupid:) Converter is now close and we have something to work with. Many thanks to Lenny, Tim Huspen and Team Z for tweaking the suspension.

    And yes I do have in car video but need someone to clip it down and host it. Anybody?

    Look at the mirror, and everyone who is watching saying what the! Wait till the see the ET. LOL


    Lenny, I am doing well. I go in on the 16th to get the plates and screws out of my leg. The other thing is I busted the number 8 rod last time out so the motor is in need of some plates. LOL I was going to fix it for the rest of the year but with my leg, time to take it easy and get me healthy first. R&D.......

    I think it is more the fact that the car has mirrors at all that surprises me :D

    Again...good work Gordon and team. I'll try to look you up later and will try to help out with the vid.
