This was at GLD last weekend. I was going for my license passes when this happened.
I wanted to start with a moderate shot (150 ) and my TA just went straight on the rear bumper.

For now no license yet. Will need to do some supension tuning as well

So true, Car was just going higher and higher LOL
Had to let off the gas for a sec otherwise it would've flipped. It really caught me off guard, wasnt expecting it to lift like that

Can wait to test with the 200 shot, that would be interesting :finger:

ENGINE is good and oil pump as well. The sound is was making it was from one of the header collectors. Other than aligning the car, everything else is good

I hope to have him out this weekend testing. The #7 tube bent the flange from hitting and blew out the gasket. The car sounded like shit and Carlos was unsure of what the noise was.

rack mounts bent and needed to be re-aligned

We will be putting limiters on for him tomorrow after we get it back from being aligned.

Thanks for the fast service, the man !!! On my way home the car almost died on me due to no gas :oops:
