Got the LSX to the track I had tire spin issues, not sure why. The track seemed to be hooking for other people? I had it at 13lbs doing 1/8 mile 
tech issues, they teched my car to 10.0's. Dew started to creep in so I turned it up to 15 lbs and gave it a shot. Breaking in the motor, that's why low boost. Anyways it when 8.9 153mph with a 1.33 60'. Not bad for low boost but I have to figure out why the car wants to go sideways on the 1-2 shift???? I ran one pass 10.1 @ 77 mph. LOL Breaking hard
Oh yea for some reason I'm letting off the gas up to 53% after letting off the trans break all the way up to the 1-2 shift where it goes back up to 97%. That's never happened before? Weird night!

I really can't say it was the track. Something in the chssis isn't happy. It could be the tune up? I have to recheck timing, It could be that I have more timing than big stuff is showing. I've run my car at 23 lbs and not had it do that on the 1-2 shift. It's possible when I short shifted it (6800 instead of 7500) and going back to full throttle at the same time did it.

No I have not. I noticed it sits a little lower in the front. It 60' 1.33, 1.33 and 1.35 I can normally run a 1.2x on a good track. It's the 1-2 shift that's a bigger problem. It could be sitting too low in the front not letting it hook up down the track?

Yea Larry, between the turbos, big I/C, plumbing and the LSx that's alot of added weight up front. I'm going to weigh all four tires. I've never done that before.
