Apart from splitting the bottom ball joint and pulling the driveshaft out and putting the used one back in Jake done the whole job on his own with supervision.

The end result;

60ft 2.1110
330ft 5.3860
1/8 8.0009
mph 94.34
1000ft 10.2022
1/4 12.1620
mph 119.02

In the first 100ft I had to get off / on it a couple of times due to it spinning I believe we could get it in the 11s with some fine tuning.

We crossed the line in 5th at 7000rpm hitting the rpm limiter.

My best time at the 06 BMW show on these drag radials was

60ft 1.983
1/8th 8.181
1/4 12.625
mph 110.28

So we've gained .46sec and 8.74mph which equals a 84bhp gain

Thats impressive And ow proud must you be of your son, capable of that sort of work at 7 years old!
