new PB...sooo close to the 9's I drove the car over an hour to the track yesterday in with hopes for a 9.99 pass.
150 shot
110/93 in fuel tank
116 in dedicated
20 degrees of total timing
11.8-12.0 A/F
275/60/15 M/T radials
1st pass
1.32 60 ft
10.07
131 mph
The car wheelied pretty good and just bumped the limiter on the 1-2 shift which is 7300 ( window switch @ 7100 )
2nd pass NPB
1.34 60ft .. big wheelie and people said I set the front end down after the 60ft marker
10.05
132 mph
bumped limiter on the 1-2 shift again, so it was no fluke
I then got Jim ( our tuner ) to lower the 1-2 shift, put 2 degrees of timing in and added a touch fuel at the dedicated. There was a delay due to a clean up and the sun went down and the track went away.... so I spun and just went home
I had a great day and still very happy with the car. The air was 500-1000 for the day. The converter seems to be a little too loose, so over winter I'm going to make a few small changes to better the current combo.

thanks guys
The car leaves hard and Byron had the track working as usual.
I changed my mind and will go out 1 more time and hope to do so the 14th or 15th. ( weather permitting )
I emailed the photographer for the pic and hope to be able to post both vid and pic tomorrow.

150 shot
and when I say drive the car it gets driven...60+ mph, driving hard, passing slow people and occasionally opening the cutout on some really annoying slow drivers just as I get next to them
I had numerous people say the fronts went down after the beam and watched the video and went frame by frame and the tires did set down after the 60ft. The first pass went a 1.32 as mentioned on a good wheelie and the second pass left way harder and wheelied way further, so I feel pretty good saying it was not the front tires.
We could not get the video to edit, so no go on that. I will hope to go back the 15th and get a good video of the car. I am trying to find someone to scan the pic since the track photo guy has not responded to my email still.

yep the Bu is in the other lane and the photographer has a good pic of both cars at the launch we are trying to get
dyno wise on spray is nothing special since all I wanted was to make sure it worked 530ish + the bottle was near empty when I thought it was full
