Looks great! Just plain water? Not ice water? What type of pump do you have moving the liquid? Its probably posted somewhere but what fuel? How does the car pull up after the run on the current brake setup? No chute? Still on stock rims?

Ice water from 2.5 gallon tank where abs pump used to be
Ford cobra oem Bosch oem intercooler pump.

Fuel: Powermist brand RE85L. It's E100 blended with 116 leaded racegas.

Wheels are old school 15x6" that Nelson has had forever. They were 16.2lb each on my scale. Saturday night we tried to swap my Volk wheels (10.6lb each for 15x7) but the extra offset made the tall tire hit the rear trailing arm on the sidewall. We could have had 25lb less rotating weight had they fit!

Brakes are all stock. Dual piston fronts too (stupid heavy and no better than single pistons).

Maybe next year the car will get a set of super lightweight TCE aluminum drag brakes for 40lb weight savings. And maybe it will get a set of Volk wheels or similar super lights.

He likely should have a parachute, and is only 3.1mph away from needing to have it to be legal. Had we gone up to 43psi of boost, I think it would have done 150mph anyway on the next run (broke).

26x8.5x15" M&H Racemaster bias ply slicks.

How do they fit on the rim?

Got any pics?
Would love to see the slicks on on the wheel and clearances etc.

Any pics of the thing taking off on those slicks?

Overall pics too please! OUTSIDE CAR
