Nice runs! I'd be curious to know what the car weighs with you in it.

10 lb spring. controller was on 12.5.. we had the lap top hooked up and said same thing. of course it went from 12.1-12.8 lbs. i am getting a boost leash to solve all the dips. that 9.6 was with a 1.58 60' foot break and i got lose at the big end peddled a bit then hammered it. the the guy i was racing said if i didnt lift it prob went 9.3 or so. but we are at 12.5 lbs with 105 octane e85. still a big defference that pump gas 10 lbs with meth ... controller is something made by turbo smart. im still new to this all so my tunner helps me out. hooks up lap top and read boost with it usally.

That is unreal and seriously fast car you have there. I had been going to the track for years before I got into the 10's.

My Spitzer Rear Engine Dragster was running 8.50's at 160 when I had it back in the mid 90's to put it in perspective. Good times to be a motor head.

Congratulations!

What Fuel Pumps are you running?

right now 2-340 but they are maxed out. so this winter i am getting 2-450 so that will be good to well over 1000 wheel.i will prob never turn it up that high. i need to use the trans break and stay in the grove and see if i can hit 8.99. if not turn boost to 15, try again.. first thing i need a cage, this was my third pass in that car ever. just got it. my old car was a lt1 mid 12.9 car. my first pass ever i was on ten lbs and foot break went 10.1 at 144. my mid 9 pass was only 141 mph because i had to back off the gas a bit.

Damn that's awesome. Makes me really encouraged for my PT88 car. What's your car weigh? I know it has the iron block in it.

Congrats! It looks like you will be able to get much more out of the car with a better 60' and a little more boost. Nice job.
