Default Finally broke into the 10s

I tried all last year with the cam and n20 to get there but could only run a 11.0Xs about 10 times. The new setup didn't let me down.

I started just doing 1/8th mile runs so I didn't get kicked out. It was doing as good as I thought it should so my friend who I bought my EBoost2 from told me what to adjust. The 2nd to last pass I ran a 11.02 @ 96mph w/ a 1.69 60ft spinning about 100ft out, standing on the brakes at the 1000ft mark. That was at 10.5psi. I got my one warning to slow down and went back to the lanes. I turned the gate pressure up a little more and my set point to get a little more pressure out of it.

The next pass I did a better burnout, the car bogged just a little at around 5500rpms. But I never lifted the right foot and ran it out. I get back to the booth expecting an *** chewing but the damn printer wasn't working. I just think to myself great I think I finally ran a 10 and I don't have any proof. Then I drive by some friends and ask them what I ran, they tell me that the boards didn't show it either. Now I am thinking this is a bad joke. So I go to the tower and finally get my slip.

The boost peaked at 11.9 then bled down 10.8. I need to work on the Eboost some more so it will stay steady.

I think with some more tweaking I can get it in the high 10.30s. My mph seemed a little slow also, I was expecting 134 or 135.

Congrats on the run. Why would they kick you out, you don't have a 6 point roll bar?

Yeah I held off for a while but I finally got mine in. I went 6 point which is only good to 10.00. I wish I could go faster but I don't want to remove the dash etc. to put in a 10 point.

Yep its still a 6 speed. I have thought about going auto but I want to try and get a 9.99 with the m6 1st. I believe the turbo still has another 3 or 4 psi left in it so maybe i can get my goal.
