Owner Comments:
I have raced this truck in Bangkok, Thailand for the last 5 years. There is a new, world class drag strip here that is tons of fun to race at. I run in either 10.9 or 11.9 second 'super' style brackets. I launch with a button at only 2400 rpm (against locked rear brakes) and the PCS trans controller shifts it at 5500 or 7200 rpm, depending on the class. I run only 0.9 bar (12 pounds) of boost on 102 race gas to get 10.70 e.t.s at 133 mph with 1.70 60-foot times . . . and consistent back-to-back runs needed to win at the super classes. I went 25 rounds in a row within 0.07 seconds last season for several wins.
