9.86 @ 150+mph D16 on the Vitaras!
Token photos of the car:
1st pass off the trailer tonight was a 9.96 @ 148mph, then 2nd pass went:
I'll try to take the footage we got and get a video put together soon, but the next few days are going to be hectic so it won't be for a few days.
Thank you to everyone that has helped along the way and contributed to this builds success!
I've been working relentlessly towards my goal of running 9's in a SFWD setup D16 for many years, and it's finally become a reality - I actually got a little teary eyed after this pass!
For being on an overnight backup build with only 7.5:1 c/r on cast pistons and a stock valve size head, I'm extremely happy with the results. Once we get the engine rebuilt with the new Arias slugs and big valve head back on it, she's going to go alot faster.

Nice work guys! James any new power since the last event with the vitaras?
Keep pushing it if everything looks all good ! then swap out the assembly for forged
