Wink First runs of the FI98X setup
This thing is pretty crazy...I'm doing my shakedowns as part of my Licensing runs, so I was only making my "moderate" runs tonight...

Anyhow...third pass...shut off at 1/8....super soft launch (1.7 psi...1.7x 60') it was trucking thru the middle (peak of 10 psi). 6.3x @ 120 mph at the 1/8 mile

it did go 122mph in the 1/8 on the 2nd pass with a much softer launch...

http://home.comcast.net/~tfranklin55...ense_Run_3.wmv

still need to work on the launch tune up to help fire this bad boy off...

I truly wasn't expecting 122 considering how damn soft if left and since I was only pushing 10 psi...which didn't even come on until about 100'

Our FI-98X definitely has enough to run some 140-150's in the 1/8th. That turbo is un-real.

More boost. With the wastegate sitting cracked trying to keep the pressure down, it will be lazy.
