Well comparing it to my other passes it seems on par. My Short game is whats holding me back now. I can't make enough boost fast enough. Since this is my first experience with forced induction I decided to not spin the blower too fast so that's why I'm having issues making boost fast enough. I will have the new gears installed over the winter then I can let her eat. I just wish I got more than one pass Sunday I know there is a 7.9x in her. Just need more tuning time. I also took 70lbs of ballast out to see if that helped and the car didn't seem to care.

The list looks pretty good now, to bad it's about to be reset. I have a slip I could add but it is quite embarrassing.

Why are those full second incrementals such a PITA to cross?

Noticed you shaved a little weight? was that just fuel or diet?

My favorite thing about the lists is that its sort of an immortal database that you can always look back at as a point of reference. It's not really a competition as much as bookmark it time.

If I may ask do you have any pictures of how your ballast is set up? I am looking to have to add 150lbs to my car to make weight for real street 275 or ultimate street. I really don't want to weigh the car down or add any weight, but I'd like to run this class. Just want to see how other's have done it in their f-bodies.

3/4" all thread, weld it to steel plate and bolt it to where you need to add the weight. you can stack plates and secure them with a washer and 3/4" nut.

A good trick is to backlight the slip. Bring up a blank white page on your computer screen (blank text doc or Word Doc), scotch tape the time slip to the screen and then take the picture with your phone.

Updated. Very impressive with the IRS. What are you using for a center section and shafts?
