Dave,
Could be but after looking at how we set it up and considering we were having fuel problems right just before I staged the car, I don't see how it could have shook from too much power. The car cut off after it shook the tires and the wideband was showing dead lean. Went back to the pits, fired it up and we knew we had a fuel pressure problem. Cooled it off and ran fine.

Cool beans!

Seems like its getting activated really soon to the start of the run. I dunno, i dont think I could trust the car not breaking while it is building up the boost and so on.

Car looks sick running down the track though.

Ok we're back at work this week making a few upgrades on the car....
- We ordered the insulation for the fuel lines
- New Drag radials will be here tomorrow
- Fixed our bump steer issue, the car was toe-ing out very bad
- Started designing a fuel cooler, right now we're going to have an external one that you can use in the pits
- We pulled the trans lines and are moving them away from the fuel feed lines
- Pulled the oil pressure sender and its our 2nd killed sensor.
- New fuel tank vent coming

Got some more progress today, Shawn from VA Speed Donated a set of Magnum Trojan Rubber for the back, got them mounted today and they fit even better than the old ones. Found a couple of pics from Friday...

Area we need to trim with the grinder and a sanding wheel, need to just skim it back
