First time out with new setup Hey guys! I was finally able to get my car out to the track. Was way past due. Just finished building and tuning the setup. There is alot more work to do, and alot more in the car. My local track is 1/8th mile, so that is what I had to work with. Track was about 3000DA and 75-80*F that night. Short breakdown of my setup:
370ci 9.0:1
Proflo-XT
AFR 225s
Garrett T6 73mm
TH400
Moser 9" 4.57/spool
MT 275/60 Pros
After fighting some issues with my charge pipe blowing off, I was finally able to get some runs in. Best run of the night was a 6.35@109 on a 1.45 sixty foot. This was on only 9psi of boost. I need to do some more tuning on it to get it to build boost faster on the transbrake. I was really only launching with 2psi of boost, which explains why it is kind of lazy the first second off of the line.
Hopefully next time out, I can have the launch worked out and also be on about 13-14psi, and finally land some 6.0-6.1's@115-117. Also, the last run I made, a seasoned racer reminded me that I now need a valid NHRA license, as well as some other items.
Here is a old pic of the setup (I now have the downpipe wrapped also) and a video of one of the runs. Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks a lot Ron! I can't wait for some 14-16psi runs! In the process in the next week of actually installing my 10pt cage. (I know I am a little behind the curve)
