Great run. I like following your build threads and watching the videos. It's amazing you still have IRS.

That is awesome Lou!

You guys are really starting to get the car dialed in and running some amazing times.

I will let them elaborate but they are definitely using our BMR 15" wheel brake and suspension package on the car.

I am sure you will be running some awesome times here once you get everything installed. When you get the car down the track let us know how it goes.

Guys, Yes we are running the BMR 15" wheel conversion and it works great. Thanks Allen. With this kind of power and IRS we've found that chassis tuning is an exercise of extreme patience. Although we've made some decent runs we're far from done. We expect to see 1.19 60ft times sooner than later. The Real Street class will be 8.0's by next year.

Nick,

I am glad to see our BMR 15" wheel suspension and brake package is working so well for you guys! It is exciting to see the progress that you guys are making with the car and the times and speeds you guys are running. Definitely keep us updated as guys get faster and faster and if there is anything we can do to help you guys out let us know.

Kyle
