The look on your face as your trying to keep it straight is classic. You look like your having way to much fun.
The other thing is ,You need to take dad for another ride. His facial expressions and reactions are priceless.
LOL, yeah the car is way too much fun. My dad is already trying to make excuses as to why he won't ride in it next time he visits. LOL.

Got Leroy into the 9's yesterday on a pump gas street tune.

13 psi of boost, leaving on 3 psi.

1.49 60 foot.

A/F was between 10.9-11.2. Timing at 12 degrees. LOL.

9.88 @ 136.5.

My goal was to get 9's on what is basically WG. Now, we turn up the wick.

Thanks to Lil John and Martin@Tick for the help.

Atta boy Mike! Glad that tune-up is working well for how mild it is! We just need to keep taking baby steps with the boost settings and launch boost and you'll be surprised just how far she goes!

What did you end up shifting at?

Thanks, Martin!

This was on the original shift points. 6350 1-2 and 6700 2-3.

These are indeed the ET Pros. They rock.

I will send you the logs for post-race analysis.

If we leave everything alone, 13psi, 3psi launch same timing and AFR and only upped the shifts to 6700 1-2 and 7000 2-3 I bet it'd pick up 1-1.5mph and a tenth in E.T.

What were you crossing the stripes at? I'm interested to see how much rpm you were dropping on the shift and crossing at.

I think it was around 6300 through the stripes. I dialed in higher shift points, but the track got out of hand and we left. Next time.

Thanks!

First pass was full of trouble, then it came together.

Nice then it's 100+degrees outside to boot. There's an easy low 9second pass in it once you turn it up and it cools off! Good luck.

Pretty good 60" for only 3psi! You have the big 96mm turbine on your 80mm?

Yeah, it was really hot. Just awful, actually.

Yes, I do. With the 1.32 A/R housing.

About 3200 without me. I am 180, give or take.

I really wanted to get that 9 second pass on what was essentially wastegate. From here, it is all gravy. Car still drives like a champ, straight and true. Well built machine, Matt!

I am amazed at the response and attention from people at the track with this car, it is a riot.
