M&H's run real narrow for a " wide" tire

numerically they're wide.. sheer measurement

I Made a couple of test hits sunday. Track prep was poor and I am still fighting a noise issue with my two step so the launch was very poor. This thing spools so quickly that it gets violent quickly. I was only running 12 psi of total boost and the temps were in the 90's
Trapping 147mph seemed good considering. Hope to start leaning on it this weekend. I figure 15 psi should get me in the low 150 range and hope to keep the heads down in the 20psi range

It is picking up interference that wont let it go above the 2500 to 3000 area when in gear on the trans brake. It works when the car is in neutral and the car loads right up when the two step has been bypassed. I used the two step all last year so I know its something that I changed

made a few more hits these passes were a little under 15psi. Still not leaving hard enough. It spools up really quickly I just need to get the hang of launching without the two step.

pretty damn consistent. Do you plan on going with a brake and two step or what are you using now, just foot brake?

I have built 8psi but that was all i set the controler to. That was enough to blow the tires off every time. I have no idea how high it would build it spools up really nicely
