ran a new PB tonight made a spur of the moment decision to go racing tonight and ran a new best
60': 1.532
1/8: 6.758
mph: 103.97
1/4: 10.522
mph: 131.61
next run backed up it up with a 10.593 @ 130.86 w/ a 1.579 60'
leaving on the 2step at 5500, seeing about 10.5#'s of boost, a/f right around 11.2-11.4, and running 14 degrees of timing
suspension is working fairly well. car hooked up hard every time. 1.512, 1.532, 1.577, and 1.579. would have thrown a little more at the launch but i drove it there and didnt wanna push it too hard without a trailer. according to dragtimes DA on the best run was 2574'
i have some iat issues to work out though. getting heat soaked really bad in the staging lanes and the iat's are getting into the high 120's during the run. gotta find a way to get the filter into the bumper/fender somehow.
getting there, cant wait for cooler weather

setup is in the first post and in the sig pic. havent weighed the car since the turbo build but best guess is in the 3550-3600 raceweight range
car weighed 3450 when it was h/c/nitrous with 1/2 tank fuel and this time out i had full tank

That's some very nice driving. Your ET is right with my car when I run that MPH, but I only have to row one gear and launching is just letting go of the easy button. I don't think I could ever drive a stick car to those times... and I've tried.
