Default New Best....8.63@167
Learning my way around with the new gears...takes more boost to leave the same

Anyhow...first run...8.83, second run 8.73, third run (ran out of CO2...oops), fourth run:

60' 1.432
330' 3.772
1/8 5.666
mph 130.96
1000' 7.275
1/4 8.635
mph 166.99

http://home.comcast.net/~tfranklin55...8p63_small.wmv

Still playing very conservative with the car. Launched at 6psi and full boost wasn't in until ~3.5 seconds and peak boost was ~21psi.
