this isnt the norm thou, if there were plenty of guys in low 10's on stock drivetrain i'd be excited. but this guys car is just a ticking time bomb.
now im not discrediting his work, very very good job with the low 10 pass on stock stuff. keep it up (for as long as the stuff holds up)

BTW, the car looked and sounded great. I wanted to come take a closer look at the car but i never saw where you guys were pitted.

Thanks Carey for posting this! 
And thanks to everyone for the kind words!
What a weekend! They always throw a sick event for WCF!
We ran two new PB's - one in the S2k as well as one in our all motor CRX.
Call it luck, call it whatever you want but it has just worked well for us. I would never have thought the drivetrain would have held this long - it has to go at some point.
Knowing that MIR would be hella sticky I kept the launch conservative on the car. Ask anyone that sees it - she bogs of the line and then comes to life. The car is pretty well dialed in and I know what it likes and what it doesnt. Also, Chris does an AWESOME job at driving the car down the track.
On Sunday the bump got moved to 9.77 for True Street so I threw some more boost at it but the car spun pretty hard in 2nd and 3rd end we ended up getting cut. I made some changes to the tune and planned on making another pass but with all the oil downs we had to leave. The 10.0 pass was again, on the limiter in 4th letting off. The car will go 9's - I know it.

On a stock trans I was in 5th pretty early, before 1000'. And that was running low 11's.
Shift into 5th and you'll run pretty well into the 9's.

I turned up the limiter twice and we still had the same issue. The logs show 9700rpms... 
We talked about shifting to 5th but figured it would hurt the ET while gaining MPH. Looks like maybe we will try it next time out though!

It's worth a shot. Being that you raised the limiter to 9700, you'd be further down the track than I was at 9300. But I'd bet that'd get you your last few hundredths you need to get that 9!!!!
