Got it back together and running again. Started and ran great again got me excited
All that is left is finishing hatch and cleaning it up
Here are the headlights. Inboard are lows. 3 outside are highs. No cutoff so I have the lows aimed very low. Shouldn't bother anybody
Happy how it turned, lows are on

Just need to get it cleaned up

no traction control or any of that stuff, just an ams 1000. It is tied into my brake pedal so i can pick to start the program with either the release of the transbrake or the foot brake
rolling 30-40 brake boost a bit and then go WOT, the AMS brought it from 4psi to 14ps very slowly. was on the edge of traction the whole time but the car tracked straight enough to stay in it
this is the run and can see the boost curve in green, hits full boost after 100

had some better luck, was having issues trying to get the slicks to work, was getting very discouraged. But i think i have it kinda figured out
anyway here is a new best, 13/14psi all in fully in 2.5 seconds
only enought fuel for one hit today after church since i burned the full tank the other night getting pist off at the slicks
I bumped the limiter on the shift like a dummy as you can see
red speed, pink Gs, green elevation/slope
![](http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s167/rotary1307cc/477_zpsb14df188.jpg)
and here is the 4.77 run against one from last time out with power in very fast, but lost traction above 100, I think i can hook it now though
so there is more if i can keep the tires

Id like to see a low 4 on the street, that would be alright for my non awd POS

update this, gave the old girl too much.
The 6.0 iron blocks arent all they are cracked up to be, lol

i always thought they were siamese, they are not, cylinder walls very thin between cylinders, only .100
I owe it nothing, that thing ran a long time
I did have the car up over 20 psi on the street for awhile, it was interesting. did go 3.42 100-150 on the street on drag radials
did a 60-130 of 4.05, rather traction limited there though

yes i will keep the info here
My new pistons are here. Wanted to try the new JE asymmetrical design
These are a custom piston beefier than shelf, setup for my valve size and cam specs, and total volume I wanted. 7.25cc total volume on piston
Here can see the asymmetry , the major thrust side of the piston has a larger skirt, the minor smaller, the pin is offset,supposedly helps keep the piston loaded on the skirt so piston slap is not a problem
