Its going pretty good actually. Just put a walbro 450 in last weekend and I switched over to E85. Friday the track opens here so I'm going to see what she can do. Right now I'm on 11-11.5lbs but if traction allows, I will up to the boost to 15lbs or so at the track. Should give me a good opportunity for data logging and tuning.

It has done me very well from a reliability standpoint. Haven't had a single problem with it.

Was going to make some passes the other night on a mexican road, but never made it that far. Had the slicks in the bed though!

Finally got a pass at the track even though it was garbage. Just trying to get comfortable with the truck and the track. Got kicked out for no helmit. I know the truck has more in it, will have to try it again soon.

Made it back to the track again. No better times(best was a 8.30 again). Burned a plug wire, and found out that my tire gauge was about 10lbs off. Aired it up the first pass to something stupid, like 25 psi, and it felt good. Borrow another gauge and it read 16psi. So, i knew my gauge was bad. Only left on 4lbs at 2200 rpms for a 2.0 60'. The trap speed wasnt working. Plan on seeing if i can get a sub 2.0 60' and maybe get this thing in the 7's. Started raining while I was at the track. Going to be trying again this weekend.
