scavenge pump is fixed. I put in some allen head screws with some loctite to secure the pump to the bracket. Also put a large hose clamp around the pump and bracket to further secure it....
have a higher pressure sensor for my AMS1000 on the way so I can get the boost higher than the low 30s
plan on making some more hits tomorrow night

0 for 3 last night
first pass...1.39 60', blew the tires HARD at 100' out....car went completely sideways at 75mph
2nd pass...1.36 60'... had a sync loss with my crank sensor at top of first gear (aborted)...tightened up the gap some more...
3rd pass...1.33 60'...idiots at the track wasn't paying attention and let a truck roll down next to me after I started building boost. Had to back off and restart...most likely overheated the converter/trans and blew through 2nd gear bad
fugger is making some serious power now...hit 33psi...Ended up going 9.80 only in the gas for 300ft

first run (definately drove out of the groove...probably why it spun)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M21M0TGNRfE
third run (blew through the shift and hit the rev limiter...pretty cool fireballs
In the gas ~4seconds... and coasted to a 9.80

That trans cooler setup is pimp 
Damn you work fast man, I was looking through some of your older threads and at one time you were on a sponsor on here. Do you run a fab / chassis shop or something like that because this doesn't seem like your first rodeo.

I was never a sponsor...
One of my sponsors was a sponsor, but temporarily closed up shop while he was building a new house.
I did alot of watching and learning while hanging out there...this whole rebuild was done in my 2-car garage
Only things I didn't do was the engine or trans builds
