First of all MADMAN rocks! Thanks for the help. I went out for the first time with the D/R. I went the quickest 60' of the year right off the trailer, backed it up with in a hundreth. lol. I'm still learning the AMS 1000. I had some misfire issues, I thinking a bad plug.
Thanks Mark K. for the info on the shocks, I was in a bind. I forgot Madmans setting at the shop. I only got two runs in for the night, the first one was 1/8 mile. 1.31 5.56 @ 129. Second run was 1.31 5.40~134 8.34 ~ 165. It was breaking up pretty bad. First run was at 17 lbs of boost leaving at 3.7 lbs of boost. Second run ramped up to 21 lbs of boost but I was down 10 mph.

I was very happy for the first time out ever with a D/R. Madman is the guy!

Larry from Speed Inc rode with and was helping me out quite a bit. He got some pics and vids. Thanks Larry!

I just need to get some new plugs in it and turn it up!!!!!

Brian with your setup it dead hooked right off the trailer! Your suspension set up was right on!! It will definitely will 60' better. It felt like I was leaving from a stop light, didn't even lift a tire. The funny thing is that it 60' better than the slicks with the EXACT same tune up??? It stinks we only got two runs in. The misfire really hurt us on power and et. The last time out we went 175 with less boost. We didn't have time to change the plugs.

Thanks again Larry! and no more four wheeling with the trailer for taco bell. lol

Congratulations Andy. It has been fun to see the car's progression over the years. Having the right people help you along the way is always a big help.

I can't wait to see what it does when you start leaning on it some more.

Haha, I do what I can since you won't let me near the boost controller.

The car looked like it launched perfect out there. I'll put up the video this weekend.
