Default Cecil radial test day on gate pressure

Now have 10 total passes on the car. Ran the car on gate pressure, in the video below the tires hazed as the boost came in at 1.8 sec 60 ft 1.34 and went 5.80. The time slip was our best pass of the day after Frank Soldridge helped me with some suspension stuff, launch at 3600 rpm 3.8 psi on the hit, then boost climbed to 11.5 on gate pressure at 1.8 sec, shifted Second and it went to 12.5 probably due to not all the exhaust getting out, had to pedal it at 4.7 but still sent 5.40. Very happy since going turbo....

Nice job Scott. Too bad the car wasn't dialed in enough to run tomorrow for Doc Z's fastest street car event at Lebenon Valley. I'm sure the car would be a serious contender for the prize money.
