Looked like he rolled thru the light and red lighted. He would have walked all over the import.

The car is running great for limited testing, a new car, and smallish engine. When he puts a full quarter mile pass on it he will be in the top 5 of that fastest ever list I think.
Some racers even take 2......3 years and still can't get it right. I had a set of Super Chiefs that basically kept me out for 2 years.......MY fault! Live & learn!

Anyone catch Chiefs back to back 4.03 @ 185 passes @ the Outlaw Streetcar Reunion? Man he made it look easy and took the fastest Pontiac record to the 1/8th from Butler.

love him or hate him, you can't deny his dedication to racing and making his car work with PONTIAC power.

Steve Dale ran a 3.993 and Jeff Kauffman ran a 3.927, so Chief is actually #3. Still pretty rare air, and I think he'll break it on big tires.

So Justin runs a 4.03 at 185 with the old "Heavy" Tempest/GTO and he runs a 4.10 at 182 with the CROWMOD at the the Light's Out event.
The Crowmod is lighter, more aerodynamic, has the ability to run quicker and faster so............... I smell a fox in the chicken house.

It's all about tuning from here. If the rotating assembly is staying together which it seems to be doing with back to back runs, it will be careful tuning that continues to move him forward. I don't believe there is intentional sandbagging going on. He and the smart group of guys he is working with including the Butlers are taking baby steps the smart way to go faster without destroying the engine, wrecking the car, and giving Justin a chance to get really comfortable in the new car if something does happen. Just smart racing. Certainly the car has lots left in it. It still has less than 25-30 passes on a completely new car. Not a big turbo fan on a personal level, don't especially love the look of the Crowmod. BUT IF YOU LOVE PONTIACS, you just have to love what this is doing for the hobby! Justin is standing by the Pontiac engine when he had many opportunities to jump ship to a different engine platform with the new car. HE IS A PONTIAC GUY and has stated that publicly many times. I can see another .15-.20 in the eighth by the end of this season. Go Pontiac.
