Result of leaving at 4300 rpms and 8 lbs. of boost Went to MIR yesterday for a track rental. The track prep is everything that it was hyped to be. Reeked havoc on alot of driveshafts and axles. Before I broke my driveshaft at the end of the day, the car did this..... Didn't think it had it in it.
This was still rising up at this point so I had to let out of it. Still went 1.36 60' with the rear tires I guess?

Looks good, either tighten up the front shocks alittle or add 15# or so and the 60' will pickup just alittle bit but you will be able to add alittle more power. What kind of boost controller?

MIR does have great track prep. I remember going there one 275 street tires and cutting 1.7-1.8 60's and then going to other tracks on DRs and not getting below 2.0 60's.

Fireball helped me scale the car so the fronts are tight. He mentioned to me that I should put limiters on and should help some too.... Right now I have a turbosmart 2 stage boost controller. Would love an ams 1000 but don't have the $$$ for that. Need to build a stout motor to handle the twin 76's first.

Two weeks ago at cecil it cut a 1.31 60' with a minimal wheelie. Also it was pushing through the converter pretty bad on the top end. Did manage 151 mph out of it though @ 9.13..... Gonna give it hell next year!!!

..... Then the driveshaft broke in the rear. Made one hell of a noise.No 8 second slip this year. Hoping after getting the converter tightened this winter that 8.90's are a breeze

it has 6 stages that can come in automatically or manually via rpm/time/aux inputs and has an aux output via the same. also on any of those 6 stages there are adjustable in and out curves. very under rated device in my opinion. http://www.turbosmartonline.com/index.php?id=42

Nice photo! MIR always has great track prep! I did about the same style of wheelie there in '08 and it scared th shiat out of me since it was the first time my car ever came up that high. I got out of it a bit and still managed like a 10.78 or something on that run. I wish I would have stayed in the gas instead maybe I would have had new best...

Yesterday was scarey!!! After the wheelstand scared me, my quick disconnect wheel popped off when I launched. Kinda scarey hangin the hoops and pulling the wheel off..... Then the driveshaft broke in the rear. Made one hell of a noise.
No 8 second slip this year. Hoping after getting the converter tightened this winter that 8.90's are a breeze
