New PB - 9.54 @ 147 - A few questions inside Figured I post this up here as well...
Went to the track this weekend and got a couple of passes in. First pass I made was on 12 lbs and went 6.4 @ 110 through the 1/8th with a 1.49 60' leaving at 3200 rpm off the 2-step. Was having an issue with my oil feed leaking a bit of oil onto the turbo causing a nice smoke show when I got back to the pits. Tried undoing the fitting and tightening it up again and thought it was solved.
The results of the next pass...
This pass I added 10% more duty cycle to the controller and the log showed the boost hovering around 15.5 lbs or so. Raised the 2-step up to 3400 and was leaving on 7 lbs or so. After this pass I called it a day as it was a new best and the feed issue wasn't resolved. Happy with the way the car is performing and this motor still keeps surprising me three years later.
Anyone have any thoughts on the launch? I don't have a transbrake so the suspension unloads when I get up on the 2-step. Are there any remedies for this? Is this hurting the 60' at all?
I figure the car will do 150 mph with a few more lbs. Really wanting to get the 60' down but not sure I can up the 2-step much more and have the brakes hold.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

It's Circle D's multi disc "2B". I had a single disc in it when I owned the car before but the previous owner sent it back to be upgraded to the multi. On this pass it locked at WOT around 120 mph. It was simply amazing when it locked going down the track. The car seemed to really take off at that point.
