This race was on a pro tree, still getting used to launching the car. The difference between half a second on the 2 step is amazing on how much boost it builds, once it crests 5 psi, it is instantly to 9 psi. I backed it down to insure I made a clean pass.
I was figuring that, which is encouraging with the low 12 psi boost level.

Another great day with the National Speed Inc. Trans Am today. We won the Quick 8 shootout in Fayetteville NC. Another $500 in the pocket and a new best with 9.08 at 151! Left the line at 3500 rpm and 3.8psi of boost and ran 15psi through the run. It spun a touch on that pass with a 1.44 60ft. I ran several wheels up 1.3 60fts today, I will get pictures and video up tomorrow.
Oh and BTW Hoosier 325-50-15 Drag Radials rock the house!

LOL!!! I wanted to keep it all together for Pinks All Out Charlotte this coming weekend, after that we are cranking the boost up!
Here is a couple of vids and pics.
We didn't get the video of the second pass where it carried the front tires a long way, but hopefully it will turn up. Ran a 5.83 at 123 in the 1/8th that day too.

Made 4 passes today, track was hooking well. Best pass came with 2 step at 4500 rpm, left at around 8 psi.
60 ft. 1.51
1/8th 6.25
1/8th 120 mph
1/4 9.50
1/4 150.05 mph
It would dead hook, and then hazed the tires on this pass through first gear.
I have stock shocks and springs on the car, and I feel that is the fix for that. I will order a set of double adjustable AFCO's tomorrow.
Boost was set on 17 psi on this pass, and it felt awesome. This was a great baseline test, and we are planning whittling the 60 ft. down from here. The car ran perfect, with no issues.
Videos will be uploaded soon, I am too tired tonight. Not bad for a street car, huh?
