"This thing is badass; it runs like a stripped-ass ape!. I took my wife for a ride in it.....we were rolling down the road about 40mph, I stabbed it and it went right to ten psi.  After the Hoosier QTP 26/11.50s went up in smoke and the car kicked sideways, my wife looks to me and says 'Thanks for turning my car into something I can't drive!'."

Derick built this car for his wife, but they share seat time in it.  We are waiting for more picsand dyno numbers from Derick, and will post it as soon as we receive it.  Here is what Derick had to say about his first time on the track with it:

"All I can say is WOW.  I went to the track last night for the first time with my wife's car.  My buddy was there getting his license runs in and asked me to come by to witness.  The guys at HP straightened me out on my boost problem.  I only ran the car one time.  I thought I would take it easy (the sub frame bars are not welded yet) and just check the gearing.  Well, after I heated up the old Hoosiers, I foot-braked the car to an easy does it 1.68 60'  I looked down to verify the boost was staying @ 11psi and there was the 1/8 @ 6.987 @ 102.66.  By the time I got to the 1000' mark, I hit the factory rev limit, so I definitely need the gears changed.  Anyway, ended the 1/4 mile @ 10.86 @ 120 mph, all while leaving it in 'D'."

CHAPTER 2:

"I just put on brand new Hoosier QTP 28/11.50 and took the car out on Sat 6/20/04. I ran in a class with the NPSA. (Pro street or 10.50 class). Here are my three runs with the new tires, I believe I might be blowing the stock electronics out because just at the traps it would sputter @ 6k. Gap was a little big @ .035 too. Sat was extremly hot I mean 90 deg compared to my first run which was around high 60's. (1) 10:06am 60'1.631, 330' 4.547, 1/8 6.972@100.77, 1000' 9.089, 1/4 10.855@126.67 (2) 11:32am 60' 1.575, 330' 4.461, 1/8 6.887@98.58, 1000' 8.988, 1/4 10.74@130.26 (3) The best for last! all runs were in "D" but I do have a micro switch on my brake pedal with an adjustable chip to build boost of the line. 1:22pm 60' 1.533, 330'4.363, 1/8 6.751@99.98, 1000' 8.822, 1/4 10.567@131.75 Runs 2 and three had one turn on the knob but I saw only 11psi. I need to slow this thing down for my wife.  Again, I am very pleased with the performance of this BASE kit. I know I could get more out of it if I started really pushing things but the kit has more than exceeded my expectations."  (Note:  Derek later ran a 1/4 mile @ 10.31 @ 131 mph)
