1.36 60' on Stock LQ9 LONGblock and PT88 I cut a 1.36 60' on Friday with my stock longblock LQ9/PT88 combo. Race weight was 3680#. Ran 4.07 to the 330' and then my charge pipe blew off. I'd love to run 9.4 1/4 on this block atleast once. I should have the charge pipe problem resolved by next Friday night to make another run at it.

The turbo is a T4 PT88.
I took the tube off that was blowing off and had a buddy of mine roll the lip. It's the tube that feeds the intercooler from the turbo. The aluminum tubing that I am using is pretty thin stuff. Without the bead rolled on the end, the tbolt clamp was crushing it and squirting it out. The lip rolled adds alot of rigidity to the tube.
My other problem is that my motor mounts are all melted and dripping down my kmember from not grounding the block to the frame properly. The motor (with the turbo) is moving ALOT more than it should and the IC is fix mounted to the frame. I should have the new motor mounts tomorrow.
Last but not least I ordered the AMS-500 boost controller this weekend which I hope will also arrive by tomorrow. If all goes as planned, I should be at the track, problem free, on Friday night if it doesn't rain out because of the tropical storm.
