DOHCRT's Project - 298whp -
Yes I have. When I first bought it. I ran a 16.3.
That was the first and only time I have ever raced at a drag strip. I think my reaction time was like 1. 60ft time had to be around 3 or more.
Now that I know how the lights work (I think) and I know how to launch a car, I should be able to do a little better (the extra 180whp wont hurt either). Wheel spin sucks with this car, but I have learned how to control it.

Wow, I haven't updated this in a while. I haven't done much with the car since the initial build, but I have added a couple more parts and tweaked a few things.
I upgraded to MS2 a while ago. Great decision. I mounted the MS ECU in place of the ashtray. Most recently, I moved my battery from the trunk to the right front of the car behind the bumper. I used a Braille AGM battery and mount. The car starts sooo much easier now. I've always thought that I needed to better tune my cranking pulse, but as it turns out I just needed more battery voltage while cranking. The engine fires up faster than it ever has. I will never run another trunk battery again. The Braille battery I went with is right around 17lbs., much lighter than the Optima Red Top I had in the trunk.

Very nice build. Good numbers on a stock SRT turbo.
