Yeah, ran the car. It seemed to rain everywhere but out there luckily. I was on the drag radials and couldn't hook for some reason. I've had better launches on the streets around my neighborhood. Best was 11.88 @ 131. But mostly low 12s at 129-130. 2.1-2.2 60's. Still needs tuning and the converter isn't right. Pulling it out today to get set up better for the turbos. Won't hold in 1st or 2nd, so it doesn't build much boost. I set it up to lock in 3rd and that helped a little. Was picking up 32-35 mph after the 1/8th.

14 pounds peak, for the last few seconds at least. Most of the run was in the 6-8 pound range due to blowing through the converter. It's an FTI billet converter. I originally had it spec'd for the turbo, but then had them loosen it up and raise the stall to run NA last fall. It's just too loose now. Above about 8 pounds I'll see 20-30% slip if I don't lock it up.
