Oh...SNAP!!!
ran our local drag radial event at Maryland International Raceway Friday night.
1st qualifier...back down the tune to ensure the car gets down the track and we make the field
5.310 @ 142.72
2nd qualifier...more boost at launch and more boost up top
something broke at the top of 1st gear
tore it apart Sat morning
opps...found this sitting in my torque converter
manufacturer is taking care of it and replacing it since there was a known heat treat issue from that batch of input shafts. while its apart we decided to have the converter tightened a few hundred more rpm
so I had to go and do this to ensure I can build boost properly on the line
here are the vids of the runs
