Ran a little better at Bristol last night 10.36 at 135.5mph Density altitude was 4089ft
Raceweight was 3740 lbs....lost some car weight from last year...almost 100lbs.
60ft 1.77
1/8 6.76
mph 108.93
1/4 10.36
mph 135.51
Ran another 10.40 at 135.x actually qualified for the "Quick 8 Power Hour"
Won first round, gave away the second round on a REDLIGHT
...made the final 4.
New Bell IC dropped the IAT's 40 degrees over the Incon baby's....still too high though as I pushed the baby GT28R's to 16psi....picking up 45 to 50 degrees over ambient by the end of the run...caused my timing to drop to 6 degrees in 3rd gear....

Congrats Tom, thats a tough track to run quick at. I ran 134 there last year @ 3200' and thats all it had lol, just keep working on that 60 foot. I forget what my 60's (1.38 or so I think) were there but I ran a bunch of 10.0x passes so you have the power to get in the 9s there if you are running 135.

I'll save up for them for a winter project. APT makes a nice looking hybrid with the T25 turbine.
The rest of this year is taking kp's advice....I'm leaving way too much on the table with 1.77 60's.
Gotta get this Harlan 2 step to work...leaving off the footbrake with no boost at 2200rpm sucks.

Yeah, that 60's killing you. I would think you could do better even w/o boost, but I guess your car is pretty heavy.

Thats awesome Onfire.
No joke there is still A LOT in your car but it's a great show-n-go car. Don't tear it up
Great to read your results with the new IC. I don't plan on installing the smaller units when mine goes on.
So you haven't even used the 2-step yet?

Thanks for the comments guys. This car will never be gutted. I still drive it to work on sunny days. I drove it 1 hour to the dyno. All factory options still work.
Thanks to Harlan, I think I got the 2step working yesterday. It was set too high to allow the tight Vig enough room to flash, causing it to tug boat launch. I haven't used it at the track yet, but it now hits the tires like it should...I still have some PCM fine tuning left to do on the rpm vs PE as it was running 10.1 : 1 af up to 4400 rpm. I'm looking forward to a 4psi launch.... 0psi footbrake launches are lame.
