thanks guys!!
no vids as I went by myself...you guys know how it sux when you get a new best and NO VID.
Pass was
4 psi launch
14psi boost
1.450 (shook the radials hard)
3.960
6.014 @ 119.54
7.790
9.292 @ 150.16
I went too low on the tire pressure I think but am learning. I was just trying to back up my 9.39 which was my goal with this car. Now I am going to try to get the 60' better and get a 9.3x on 12psi.

KP you are right on the first part and wrong on the 2nd. It would break parts and I am not going to be running 8s....unless its gonna run it on 14psi of boost and that aint happening.
The drag radials are much easier to handle up top vs the slicks so my 60s are only gonna be what these support on my car.....no more slicks I dont believe. The 9.29 was not planned...I picked up .10 and 3 mph by adding 1.3 deg of timing....crazy. Now I want to go down to 12psi and see if i can run 9.3x. Fun/slow and reliable has been a whole lot of fun and I dont want to push water to say i went .3 faster...not worth it for a test and tuner like myself

I like the DRs but they just arent consistent, lot of wasted runs and its really hard on the trans when they hook then go up in smoke instantly which they seem to do 30% of the time. I dont have the reserve power to make up for it if I blow them off the first 50 feet either, with slicks even if they spin some I will run a tenth off, not half a second.
