Here are a few vids of the car on the dyno (3.5psi / 14psi / & 19psi). On the first two you can here it hit a brick wall when that converter couples and stops revving (4600 rpm the first pull and 5200rpm on the 14 psi pull). The last pull was at 19 psi and sounded much better but didnt get any numbers on this pull. This was also the pull where the o-ring blew, we got VERRRRRY lucky there was no fire as you can see the Alky spraying everywhere at the end of the pull.

Very nice! I had the same thing happen with me this week, the rail came off one of the injectors! Meth must be easy to get where you are I cant seem to get it that easy here!

It's getting some overkill brackets so there is not a next time. We get the methanol by the 55gal drum at the local race fuel distributor, so yes easy to get.

Well I can't get the vids to load on this PC (will try to load them later tonight). We were able to make some shakedown runs on the car just in time to realize the slicks were totally junk and I really didn't want to buy new tires for them to just sit all winter so we just made the best of it. After a few crappy passes spinning we went to no boost (actually -5 vac) just letting the car roll out of the beams under N/A power, hence the 1.73 short time. It got to 3.5psi 1.6sec out and a slow ramp to full boost (12psi) 2.8 sec in. It was soft but it didn't spin so that was good. Time Ticket is below. Once at 12 psi it pulled pretty good picking up over 32mph in the second 1/8th. For 3850lbs and low boost I'm happy with the MPH.
I think thats it for this year. New tires in March and testing will continue.
