Been chasing some electrical problems where the car would not run consistent from day to day. I think I finally got it licked. Was loaded up today to go testing but the weather got us.

Hope you didn't get washed away. Looking forward to some positive results.

After fighting electrical issues, I think we're in the clear. Went to MIR today to make a couple hits to make sure the brakes and staging issues were cleaned up. Car stages insanely quick now, will make 5.5psi in about 1.7 seconds. Only made one hit today but spun the tires at .6 into the run, the tuneup was just too hot for the track. It was up almost 3# of boost at .6 when it spun the tires, I doubt it would have gone down a prepped track but we have a starting point now. Tried to pedal it down track but the boost just comes in way to fast now to even have a shot. The first time it spun the tires, I pedaled and the boost came in at almost 46psi per second(it would do 27psi per second on gas). Just need to work on a few things to calm it down.

LOL, thanks man. Didnt get much data today, it did go a 1.33 and killed the tires at .60 into the run. Left at 3750 and 5.5psi, need to hit it with a couple tenths more and slow down the power at .50. At .60 it was making an 18psi per second change in boost which on my car is pretty healthy, usually it only needs 11-12.

The track did not have a radial prep. it was a normal test and tune day with 500+ cars.

Well I did a MIR rental 2 weeks ago with only the 60' prepped and went 1.34 60's and no changes to the car I had to take 3 psi and 100 rpm off my trans brake setting to hook at Cecil this saturday at a rental on my radial car. best I got was a 1.39 60'
