Default New Personal Best 8.55@166MPH

New personal best this weekend at the LS Fest... 8.55 with a backup pass of8.59.

Both of these passes were 4psi launch ramping to 17psi.

Can't wait to get to the LSXshootout and to turn up the boost.




Video of the 8.59 pass

Thanks.
We were running the AEM Boost controller and it was acting up on us, not letting us get the boost we were commanding. We are switching to the AMS1000 before the shootout.

Plans are to try to launch on 8-10psi and ramp to 22-25psi depending on the track conditions. That should get us in the 1400-1500ish range on RWHP and into the 170's.

Yeah, Air to water, bigger turbo, 5" exhaust, lots of new goodies this year. We took a lot of weight out to compensate, but she still is fat. Factory seats are killing me, but I have a hard time taking them out when I don't need to.
