Goal Reached, Only took 5 years It took way to long and way to much money but it finally happen. My goal was simply get in the 9s and run 140. I made 2 passes Saturday which were basically the cars first passes on this new setup. I did take it to the track a few months ago and ran a 10.20, but found out after that it had 2 dead cylinders.
The 1st pass I did a really weak burnout and blew the tires off instantly and spun again going into 2nd. The car ran a 10.83 at 140.5mph, it had a 2.18 60ft and went 109.8mph in the 8th. I didn't mind the terrible time since it mph so well.
4.5 hours later I finally got a chance to make a second pass. I did a much better burn out then staged up. I rolled in a little deep causing me to deep stage once I got on the brake. Once I let the brake go the car lifted up and took tore out. It honestly scared me. Unfornately nobody got a video of it since it was so late. A friend watching said it pulled the wheels about a foot high. Somewhere after the 1/8 mile it blew off the vacuum line going to the BOV dropping the boost to around 8.5 psi.
The sweetest part of hitting this goal is it was done on the cars low boost setting of 13.5psi and not even a clean pass since the boost dropped on the big end. I think it will go 9.5 or .6 at 142ish with a clean pass.
