Very impressive. Back in the day, there was a hard tire class that guys would run pep boy specials in after soaking them in diesel fuel for a couple days and making them as sticky as fly paper. You'd see guys pulling the front wheels with those but they'd only last about 10-12 runs. Doing it on unprepped MS tires really shows what the driver and chassis can do.

Two 15 gallon fuel cells, a2w intercooler with 10 gallon a2w tank, and 2 gallon coolant overflow tank, plus battery makes it full back there!
I have never put anything on them as when racing heads up I would think it would make it inconsistent.
speed base
No, people have referred to my front wheel speed based boost control as traction control before, but it isn't. It just doesn't add boost if your mph isn't increasing(in other words if it spins the back tires, it doesnt keep increasing boost at the same rate). This is NOT traction control.

OHHH sorry about that. I read a thread and somebody said you used it for your traction control and I always thought "why would he do that, what if he lifted the front wheels" . Thanks for the clarification !

Intelligent use of pre-defined boost control is a proactive approach so traction isnt lost in the first place.
And using undriven wheel speed, if it pulls a wheelie no big deal, wheel speed drops and boost would drop too, which in turn should prevent any further increase in the wheelie

callies crank/rods, diamond pistons, block is now half filled(cracked cylinder wall in another block a few weeks ago). The parts from my old motor I ran for 2 years looked great, just ended up finding small crack in the crank so I picked up the new stronger parts so can push it farther this year.

Why?

besides not being designed for that sort of shock, speed, and heat cycling?
A more extreme example is the 1 caar or so per year at the Texas Mile that crashes because of a blown tire. Why? Because the tires used arent designed or built to take that sort of abuse.
Might as well run without a cage as well.. =/

UPR arb, lca, baseline outlaw uppers, menscer shocks, hooken chassis front control arms and kmember, menscer shocks.
For several seconds I'm over the speed rating I'm not concerned with it honestly. If for any reason I was concerned with my safety I would not be doing it.
I don't think that was an issue at all, it was a 12yr old eagle crank that had been thru a lot of abuse before I got it so I wasn't concerned when it had the cracks in it.
I think just all the stress of 12 yrs of racing and I know it had a rough life from the previous owner Maxx melting the motor down twice.
