Gotta keep dumping the money in to get the time down lol. Sucks it takes more than just mega hp and good tires. lol

Congrats on the 9's man!

Good choice on the Vikings. I have Strange SA's upfront with 300 lb. springs. I just have cheap Comp. Engineering 3-ways out back though. Hopefully will have mine at the track this weekend to get some hits in on it. I don't expect much on the stock 10 bolt though!

Why would you move the LCA up a hole? That will hit the tire softer and take separation out of the suspension while lowering anti squat. That is not what you want. You want the tire to separate away from the fender of the car, and plant/drive the tire into the track. You then use the rebound setting on your adjustable shocks to progressively control how hard it plants/drives that tire into the track.

Good runs Doug, there is a ton more left in it! Do you have a boost controller?

Thanks Martin! Car seems to make some great power for stock motor and a 3700+lb car

I haven't moved it up just something he mentioned. I have them in the lowest hole wih the relocation brackets but the reason it isn't getting the best times for 60' is the eibach pros in front. I have the adjustable on back to ill be making many adjustments to get it right only had a few passes so plenty of time left.
No I don't need one but can only buy so much haha if something pops up ill grab it. Would like the leash but not spending that kind of money so ill search for a used ams and pick one up for less than 300 bucks. I was just watching the boost gauge and releasing the brake at different points to test launches not very consistent lol but found 6psi was cutting 1.54 on **** suspension.

I think with a boost controller, and being able to apply pressure to the gate will help you in getting the boost to come in where you need it, when you need it.

A Co2 controlled boost controller is a god send on a turbo car.

Ya i'll be getting something soon prob an ams500 since they are the best price used. I really like the boost leash/puls leash combo but i didnt want to spend 750 on it. I'll just use manifold pressure and see how i like it then go from there. The manual hallman works good but def not something to use if you really want to try to race at the track. Tons more to work on i'm sure will take me months to get everything working properly

I just made the suggestion because I did it to my car and I don't spin at all anymore by moving it up one notch.

Went up to get licensed but couldn't didn't know I need the cage cert before also needed solid valve stems in the front lol
So turned the boost down to 14 but ran 9.9@142 first pass. Then was told to really keep it under 10.0 so worked on 8th mile got 116 out of it but really couldn't hook so my coil overs come in tomorrow they should help get this pig off the line 1.5s feel like a slug!
Sorry for the shaky video my nephew took it
