that car has been a blast. insanely reliable. in the year we have been beating on it we have changed the oil twice, plugs twice, cleaned the fuel filter a few times and put 4 sets of tires on it. the only problem we had was the tranny messed up on us once. had to do a quick rebuild right before drag week.

we were looking at the logs today. on the last run we turned the boost up but it didn't go up on the launch like it should have. i think we have the 2step set too low for the boost to go any higher. we left at 10.5psi and ran at 14psi on that run. with a 2 step adjustment we should be able to leave at 14psi. if it gets traction i think it could be a bit quicker

if we were really serious we could drop something like 200lbs off the car.

Congrats! That converts to around a 9.5 in the 1/4. How much timing are you running on that thing?

15deg and 14psi. sometimes the boost goes a little higher in 3rd but 14psi is our target.

Pump gas? Any meth? Im running 17* with 91 octain/ 30% E85 mix, and 625 nozzle straight meth. Thinking about trying 18*, with a bit more meth Have you tried more timing, or are you just keeping it safe?

Impressive MPH and ET. What is the race weight of that car? I am sure it has been posted, I just missed it.
