I called smith racecraft yesterday and my assassin bars are still being nickel plated. Looks like I won't get them on before I hit the track on friday... I'll probably end up changing the spring setting in the boost gauge so it spool a lot slower. That should give me a chance to get off the line without blowing the tires off right away. I probably won't see any good times on friday night but it will be a great chance to collect good data and get the tune near perfect.

I had a buddy with a 23X/24X cam dont remember the exact specs in a SC 5.3L did like a 2.2 60ft and ran 90-95mph in the 1/8th with 3.42s lol. Truck was a dog dog dog off the line, but was a highway rolling champion.
So is your plan to set the boost lower for take off and have it kick back on that a certain speed or rpm?

No I don't have that capability with my boost controller unless I hook up the scramble boost switch. That is a good idea though that I didn't think about. Once the scramble boost switch is turned on, it will make the solenoid go to a predetermined duty cycle. So I could make the switch go to 15lbs and turn that on halfway down the track or so.
Probably won't happen before this Friday. But when I get a weekend to work on it, I'm going to add that feature and play with it. Maybe I should get the B&M shifter handle with the button on it and use that for scramble boost.
My plan is to just make the turbo really laggy this trip and see if I can keep traction. My 60's will definitely be over 2 seconds but hopefully I will show a good trap speed.

Damn good find if you ask me. Tonight I remembered that I need a helmet if I'm going to run faster than 13.99. Went through a couple family shelves and found a Simson. Hasn't been used since the 80's when my dad and grandpa were pretty competitive in the sand drags but it'll be put back to use 30 years later
