    To make it even funnier I just heard a pack of people talking about Cal here for being a prick on yellow bullet. Some debate about who is a better spokesperson for bullseye turbos. The negativity travels all the way from MI to MD.

    How is that negative? Going faster than 8:50 with the 76, so why do you need the 88 for Bradenton?

    Negative? Cause I call someone out to post facts?

    I don't think I would say running a 1.34 50' and a 5.0@150 to the 1/8th on the 3rd pass is limping it down the track.

    I will get it in the 1.20's this coming year though in competition

    Haltech booth in the tower --- nice to be partnered up with the title sponsor of the event.

    Haha, I did the same thing but it didn't help me as much as it did you. :)

    Rear pro stars sold. New double beadlocks arriving from Cartel Mfg next week.

    UPR new front end kit installed. Waiting on a new bumpsteer kit and rack bushings to finish the jobs.

    I will be doing a full write up of the changes.

    Good to see you are keeping on it. 8.26 is hauling the mail for sure.

    Best of luck to you,

    Any issues running the stock spoiler on the rear hatch? I had a few guys telling me I was going to need to buy a new aluminum wing but prefer to keep the car stock looking like you have it.

    No issues. While those things may add something they are absolutely not required.

    The appearance makes me choke up puke in the back of my throat.

    Very detailed description Mike! I am going to get fathead made of my wing and hang it in your trailer.

    As for my car, the wing was the only thing that helped settle the car on the top end, some adjustments to the caster camber plates helped as well.

    I wasn't taking a shot at your car --- it is a matter of preference. Hey, some people even think pink is cool.

    I may be living in some state of denial but I think my car still looks street oriented with the stickers and chute off of it.

    No offense taken my man, just a little bantering to get through the next 3 months. I don't think they look all that good either.

    Well, I just realized something.

    Despite having my new front end together courtesy of UPR and Baer I cannot yet align the car.

    I have no rear wheels. I forgot you need them.
