Some more low 10's from my track outing and got it weighed at the track scale. No real changes made this time. I ran 16psi on all passes and added 2 more degree of timing compared to last time. I switched back to my stock SS wheels in the front instead of skinnies. Evidently the Jegs skinny wheels work without spacers... until you replace your brake pads, then they don't clear the calipers any more.
So the first pass my boost controller went kaput and was off, most likely a wiring issue i'll have to check.
8psi on and off the gas, gave up and shifted into 3rd and drove normal.
1.71 60'
11.8 @ 112
Next pass I launched on 10psi and spun pretty bad but peddled it out since it was going straight.
1.61 60'
10.19 @ 135.8
3rd pass was great up until the 100' mark, had a coupler explode off the turbo, charge pipe flew off into the other lane. T-bolts were all still attached, the coupler just split in half around the entire circumfrence. Pretty cool failure. Track guys brought it back to me, luckily they didn't remember i left this same pipe around the same area the last time i was out due to a clamp failure lol.
1.63 60'
10.39@116
I saw the scales were open and weighed the car.
3680lbs... without me in it
2/3 tank of gas.. fuggin pig of a car. No back seat either. That puts me a 3870 raceweight tonight, that is rediculously heavy.
Next up on the list of crap to try is my new PTC converter spec'd by Dusty Bradford. There is one track day left in Dec, maybe it will improve my 60's. I need some DA Strange shocks in the front to get some weight transfer, wish I had more money.
As an added bonus I got to meet BlackX from here, wish I had more time to chat with him. When I was leaving the track at 10:15 the cars were still lined up to get in. They were up to car 320 or so with another 100+ in line.

I agree, lets petition the mods. These cars are freaking tanks.
They run until 1am usually. The cut off for cars is 11pm, and they start lining up around 6pm with racing starting at 9pm. 400 cars trying to race is not unusual at all.
Temps were in the low 60's last night.

Ever thought about lexan plastic on the back window? I dont know how n the hell my car weighs less. Last time i weighed it it was 3360 with 1.4 tank of gas and me in it. I want to do the lexan thing hell it looks like glass and u can tint it that will save 150 pounds or more.
