Got Kicked Off Track Today- 9.581 at 146.458mph-8lbs of Boost Still in the tuning stages - my tuning not the cars. Last weekend track was crap. Today, outstanding traction.
1st pass out of the trailer - 10.07 at 143mph (lost the slip some where)
2nd pass: tried off transbrake at 2500rpm launch: 1.631 60'; 1/8 6.233 at 118.287; 1/4 9.581 at 146.458
3rd pass: stepped up launch to 3500rpm: 1.561; 6.243 at 115.820; 9.650 at 144.616 (heard a "clunk" at release of t-b, got out of it and than back into it - turned out just to be limiters, next time I'll know what lifting the front end with limiter sounds like
)
All was done on wastegates only (8lbs). Mostly 90-100% throttle. A/F was 11.68-11.8. Plugs looked dead on. Still have 10lbs of boost and 400rwhp in the bag
Very nice day. The SS was dead straight all day. Not a wiggle.
The track Tech guy said the next pass had better be a licensing run. We're not ready for that - the chasis needs certifing first.
I'll post a video later.

EDIT: Here's the video link - notice how smooth and almost lazy the SS leaves, couldn't believe it ran a 9.58

Congrats David! I figured you already had the car certified, but guess you better get on that ASAP!
Get a physical too for your license runs
