what fell out of the back of the car on the starting line?

Looks really good, I bet you can leave on about 3 or 4 lbs more then you are, it's still leaving a little lazy. That mph is a 8.30 at least.

tires must've kicked a butt or something into the rear bumper cover....didn't look like much, but I need to check tomorrow (that was my last run anyhow)

still a bit soft...I actually upped the target launch boost that shook off when I went t-brake...dunno, but my last two runs were testing on protree and its surprising how little time there is LOL...so my boost wasn't as high as I wanted (6 vs 8 psi)
