Default Laziest 8s pass ever! (Video inside)

Ran a new PB this past weekend with a super lazy boost ramp and 60ft. The car has a ton more left in it.

We were only able to make one pass as the balancer sheared off during shutdown.

Boost was 26.5lbs, timing at 14degrees, it was little rich as well. It is the 2nd ATI balancer this car has sheared, only thing I can think of is that the bolts were loose.

Is it an ATi? I had my ati dampener shear the 6 torx bolts off twice ruining my balancer the second time. called ATI and they asked if I was installing it with the 6 torx bolts plus the 3 a\c pulley bolts. I said only the 6 torx because I am not using the a/c pulley which i left it in the box. They informed me all 9 bolts need to be installed whether you use a\c pulley or not. They said If you do not install them all, this will happen..

You are using and ATI. Now that I told you that, read the ATI manual again, because it does not clearly state this, but when the authorized dealer I purchased it from called them, they said I needed all 9 bolts very sarcastically. Even though balancer was not very old I had to shell out full price for a new one. I may have been a dummy on this but read the installation instructions again for yourself and then call them before you say it

Yea, I originally had 76/68s and I sold those turbos for a 75/75 from HuronSpeed. You can get them from TC in either configuration, the 75/75s are a lot more money though.

Wow, what an amazing combo you've put together! Was this pass from the foot brake?

By the way, you need to update your "11 Second Club" status.

We weighed it at the race track at 3850 with me in it.

It was off the trans brake, just not a lot of boost setup in the controller. We were at another track Saturday and that track couldn't hold 5psi on the launch. We still had that boost controller setup from Saturday in the car for the first pass and last pass unfortunately on Sunday.

Thank you for this. I will put the other 3 bolts in mine.
