Someone said if the car is too fat it will drop cylinders, we leaned it out and on the last pass they all stayed lit and went 30-195 .42 second faster than it did all day.

The 1/8 mile times were not anything too special 4.81-4.83 pretty consistent. We're slowly learning what these cars take and want at different parts of the track. We know a setup to go 1.29, 1.27 and 1.25 to the 60'. We made changes to go a 1.23 but the track wasn't there, great news is we learned a HUGE piece of the puzzle on that run.

Intresting.. I've never heard of cyl's going out from too rich, but it does make sense.

Can you hurt a turbo motor like you can a nitrous motor by going too rich, or does the boost make that a non-issue?

7.29 with a single on radials is no joke regardless. Sounds like ya just need some time to get things sorted and it should be ripping for sure, as if it's not already!

We just need more laps, when everyone else has made 100+ laps we're just into the double digits. Each pass is a learning curve getting more data. Its not like we don't know where it needs power we need laps to test different things. We lost alot of ground with the new headers and the setback on the injectors, we're back to where we were and very consistent to boot.

After I looked at the data from this weekend I found 5-6 things where we can easily go faster and at this point a couple tenths here and there add up.

I've seen cars start pulling the tires up 300 feet out.... I am not sure what the solution is to that problem, but it's a nice problem to have. Scary too, since you're already going well over 100 at that point

I know this is a weird question but could you drive the car on the street if you wanted to?
