Adjustable shocks?
qa1's up front, comp 50/50 rears, rear drag springs, all bmr tubular stuff.
3050lbs with a half tank without me in it.
and i have no boost controller. i just have a tee in the waste gate line and ive been drilling it out to get more boost.

When you say your converter only goes to 3200, do you mean on the foot brake? What does it go to on the transbrake with no 2 step. Mine used to go 1.37 - 1.39 leaving on 5 psi. Would go to 4600 on the transbrake.
its just a 99 dollar ebay intercooler. But my iats start out around 100 degrees at first then get to the 140's on a warm day at 14 lbs of boost.
When i get some money ive been expecting im going to be installing a meth kit. always wondered hwo meth would do on a e85 car.
At the 1/4 i think i have to much gear, i went accross the line at 6800rpms, it falls off about 6100 bad. Im not sure why but my boost actually drops about 1.5lbs compared from 5900rpms to 6900rpms. So right now i have a 3.45 rear gear and im thinking ill go to 3.20's soon.

The 3.45 is **** for 1/8mile though. I actually just got a 6.075 last night at 117 on 14 lbs.

That's what I thought. It looked like the car on the right was a Camaro. After watching it full screen I can tell its a trans am too.

Decided to fill my weekend cruiser up and head to the track . First pass out on my low boost setting of 11-12 pounds. First time in the nines! It wheelied pretty hard out he hole so I let off, then I even let off before the finish line sine I was unfamiler with the track.. I turned the boost up and couldn't get it to hook up on the next two runs. Ran 10.1 and 9.9. Car felt strong! I know I got a 9.5 as it sits now and a 9.4 with 2 more pounds of boost. I'm alos looseing up my convertor some to hlp my 60's.

Anyways thanks kyle at bmr for giving me pointers on suspension setup and seling and me the best suspension parts there is. and thanks jeremy formato for all the tuning help.
No problem Mike, I am finally glad you got a clean pass with the car. We will have to get together and make a trip down to the track and see if we can lower that 60ft times a little bit more.

I need a looser convertor, i cant stall it over 3400 rpms and i can only build 4.5lbs on the line. Im hoping if i loosen my convertor it wont make me loose mph up. Like i hope it wont have more total slip percentage.

But ya heres last night slip, ive gotton faster everytime i take it out.
