made it to the 1/4th last night.... having issues with the converter, on 14psi its blowing right through it, nevertheless got some 9's 
As evidenced by the trap speeds the car really cannot make the full 1/4th mile yet. Its trapping 117-118 in the 1/8th, seems to be a bit left on the table for the 1/4th
9.6

Nice runs. Should be in the 8's when you're all said and done. Are you just running off the spring? How much boost at launch and what's the 2 step set at? I have a similer setup I'm hoping runs like yours in a few weeks.

thanks guys and jim for posting
i'll get the specifics when i can personally see the logs. on the 9.5, i had the 2 step at 4200rpms, 5* retard and i think the full rate. only thing i changed was the rpm from 3800-4200 as the track got better. 18psi warm in the tires.
i definitely didn't think my POS 1" sway bar and lackluster shock setup was up to the task, and there is no doubt the car is rolling, but i can't argue with the 1.34 60ft! I'm more than pleased, and it's as good as i've seen out similar cars; so for now i'm not messing with it! i guess i got lucky in that respect
aparantly some friends were looking at my logs and i was only at 61-65% throttle on those runs. i know i was pedaling but i didn't think that much. either way, i'm very happy with the performance and am very excited to see what it's capable of

Thumbs up to my local trans guy. Called him up and he's starting on my new converter which will be done by the end of next week. We're going to the next size up, taking 1000rpms out of it, and we should be good to go. Even swap, no $$... good service.
a friend and myself just checked my TPS issues a bit ago.... omg
opened up the throttle blade by hand WOT, scanner reads 100%. pushed the pedal to the floor, 77%. pulled the floor mat out, 100% LOL.... *****
i was officially at ~65% throttle for 95% of the time, WOW

Cars running strong and I'm sure you're ready to see it at full-tilt boogie!
