First single digit passes *New best with some carnage Finally got to make some passes and play with the launch and suspension. I was really surprised as I kept upping the launch rpm and tightening the front shocks that the track actually held with these old style 275 MT drag radials. 3200 rpm 2 step 7.5 psi launch I'm pretty happy with that considering it basically a minimal prep for friday night street legal drags. Around 3800'+ density altitude. I want to really dial my launch in and see a 1.2-1.3 60' on a sticky track before I go and crank up the boost. I ran several low 10 second passes which I kept spinning on and a 9.744@141.
Eventually I would like to send the converter back to neal chance and have them loosen it up for the turbo. Right now its a super tight nitrous converter that is not easy to spool up on compared to my buddies ptc.

Even the bolt together Chance converters you would have to have a few different stators to be able to adjust the launch rpm. Its not an easy or inexpensive to have 3-4 stators to get the convertor just right.

First single digit pass *New best with some carnage Decided to run my car for our tracks last race of the season. It was real cool out and had been raining a lot the last few days. Luckily the day turned out pretty well and the track was hooking insanely good, too good ;( Car picked up a lot and I was super thrilled it seems to like the cool air and the cold air setup. I couldn't believe how hard it 60' and this is still the old MT 275/60-15 drag radial. Last pass of the day the car stood straight up and upon landing blew out both inner fenders and cracked my fender. Hoping I didn't bend anything but I still drove it home in one piece. This was all on 15-16 psi except the 119 mph pass in the 1/8th that was I think 17 psi? I'm definitely over revving and out of the power band because it's not gaining mph in the 1/4 spinning 7200 + rpm. Density altitude was around 2000' which is phenomenal for our track.

I'm kind of wondering if guys are even bothering with the inner fenders? I imagine they will just rip out again next time? Some people have told me that abs plastic repair works pretty well on these fenders, but a 4th gen fender isn't really much money either.
