Let me tell you about Pauls car, I took it to Gainesville today the weather was 71 Degrees, this is the last test and tune till just before the Gator Nationals, the place is packed, we drove Pauls car down there and trailer'ed my Mark 8, so I took both cars through Tech put 10 gallons of 103 in Pauls car and five gallons of 110 in mine. I got mine up on the track about twenty-five cars back from the staging lanes with eight lanes beside me filled with pro gas and street cars. I waited for over two hours to make a pass in my Mark 8, I got up did the burn out, got staged the tree started down and I launched the car just devastated the M/T with 20 PSI in them, sending the car sideways I had to shut down I was so mad after waiting all this time. So I drove around parked the Mark 8 and got in Pauls car, my son in law is here visiting he has never been to the drags, so its my first pass so I decide to take David as a passenger, we waited over an hour more, now Pauls car is as strong as any car I have done to date, I installed my 18" Nittos and the car has over a half of tank of gas, a full trunk with spare, my lap top a SCT software in the back seat and two adults in the front seat, we are beside a Camaro with a custom hood, the kid said hey dude what's under the hood, I said hey smack head its gerbil powered care to make a wager. He laughed said don't want to take your money, well we rolled up to the burn out box and I lit the tires up the car sounds awesome and smoke is every ware the smack head quit smiling when we pulled up to staging area. We are staged the light falls. He gets me off the line, not for long. This car will run LOW 12's I guarantee it, this is as fast as Keith's car with 17" Cobra R's well for those that questioned that there is no question on Pauls car it has the stock 18" 245's in the front with 30545R18/110 Nittos in the rear, this was my first and only pass in the car if David was not in the front seat the car would have probably ran 12.4 at about 112, this car hauls ass period, drives like a dream has perfect shift points, I am totally satisfied with #12 and I did get to run the Mark one more time after dropping the tire pressure to 15 PSI it ran 11.7 seconds at 110.00 I am installing a 4000 stall in it and working on shift points the car will go 10's just in time for FFW.

Thanks Dennis, Great numbers. I will eliminate the 90 degree connections to the filter and finish the exhaust from the X-pipe back with larger pipe and magnaflow chrome performance mufflers. What PSI did you run in the Nittos and will I be able to run 115 octane with your tune?
Send that B!tch Fed Ex as I need to get it ready for the St. Louis car show / drags next month. Then FFW at Kansas City International Raceway the following month.
Thanks for all your help in making this the badest MM around. That was what I was shooting for and you made it happen!! Tell Lonnie and Arturo "Thanks!!" as well.
Take care and let me know when I can expect Blue Thunder to arrive in KC.

Were there any top fuelers? Are they going to have any more test days before the Gator Nationals? I'd love to go see some stuff run.
