They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

So last night was the first time my car ever has seen the track. (Other than when it was a four cylinder and I was spectating, lol) All in all things went very well. We made three passes total. The first was just a 60' and we coasted down. The car went nice and straight and stopped well, all that you can ask for I guess. The second pass my buddy/tuner said if it feels good take it to half track. I did just that and a little more. I left part throttle off the foot brake around 60% on the tps I shifted and it saw WOT for less than a second in second gear I shut if off before the 1000' mark. The car coasted down to a 9.09 @ 127, needless to say I was pumped. We made one more pass after that all about the same to the tune of 9.32@ 132, it never saw WOT on that pass. The track was getting cold and we didn't want to get carried away just took it easy. We're going to make a few small changes in the tune up and wire in a few more options to the FAST xfi before the car comes back out, the ramp retard being one of them.

Here's the time slip from my second pass. This car has so much left in it it's not even funny. It left relatively easy being only part throttle. I'm hoping to see 1.2x 60's once we leave off the trans brake with the ramp retard hooked up.

I grabbed my crystal ball, which some douche put back broken so i'll wing it. 8.9's on motor, Bob's car is a rocket!
 
Thanks for all the support guys, I appreciate it! Probably a week or so before I have time to get back down the track, this work stuff tends to get in the way.

Trailer to the track, the license plates haven't came in for the car yet. I'm hoping to put some street miles on it soon. It was nice just to shake it down though.
