Lets try this again...
Good luck tomorrow Brian! I'm moving so coming to watch is out.
Wait till you see what Shawn has planned for my new bullet. Should be enough to take on the top 275 guys. Just need to get the right turbo figured out and it will be a beast!
I may need a cage upgrade this winter

soso day...
first qual....got reasonable boost on the launch which resulted in a 1.40 60'. went 5.30 @ 145 @ 25 psi
2nd qual....dialued more rpm on the two step, but when I was bumping in the prestage, I went too far and lit both bulbs and ended up with too little boost. Should've just sat on the line
Resulted in a 1.55 60' and a 5.5x @ 148.... @ 28 psi.
1st round. the little screws that hold the scavenge pump to the bracket either broke or backed out (POS design) and the pump fell to the ground in the burnout box. Got shut off
I had added about 5 more psi of boost for that pass....should've hauled a$$ 
Oh well....got some changes to make the next few days and will do some testing later this week

I see some green loctite in the horizon for that pump 
It's starting to come around.. once you get the staging and power ramp figured out it should run some really strong #'s 148 @ the 1/8th is good for what? Somewhere well into the 4 second range no?

I saw your 2 runs on the live feed, car is getting there! Seemed like everyone was having trouble getting off the line. Once you get her in the 1.2s you will be cracking 4s
What are your goals with the car? I know with the old setup your were looking for that 7.99 but now that you built it to run ODR, how fast do you think you can get with the current power? Have you considered going to the 88 and running X275?
Also looking forward to finally meeting you at Yellow Bullet Nats.
