DSMLink hits 9's

[Hal]

From the DSMLink forums:

Cool. Russ finally did it. I know he's gotta be tired of hearing that.

1.554 60ft
4.146 330ft
6.282@116.10 660ft
8.109 1000ft
9.705@139.85 1320ft

Motor died in the second half of the run.

That's from Russ Coxe, BTW. Running his Mitsu-made automatic tranny.

EDIT: To clarify on that motor part...it apparently ate a ring in the #2 cylinder. No more info available at this time.

Pretty nice car. That's ALOT of work to run 9's though.

Congrats Russ. I'll hit you up in person since you don't reside here.

Just goes to show people that the auto tranny is not that weak, nor is DSMLink.

Hmm, isn't that weird, he has a manual boost controller.

That's awsome! Russ is a great guy and his step into the 9's will be much more frequent now!
Congrats to Russ!

I may also be the first 9sec DSM running a MAFT also.

I think you meant "IT may also be the first 9sec DSM running a MAFT also." Unless you've done some wrenching in the garage without me knowing :D

[hoffman]

Yeah.

Russ maybe the first to run 9s on a MAFT.

Better?

[Van]

He's using DSMlink to "unfix" what the MAFT does. Especially at the injector size required to run nines. So the disclaimer required totally negates the point. Obviously the GM MAF flows enough and I don't think that was ever in question.

i almost bought his netics manifold when it was on ebay awhile back... i didnt know that car was that fast..
