yeah I did. I ran it up o 6000 but I was worried about the fuel system leaning out so that is as high as I went. I think it made a difference but the better air that raised my boost a little helped to.

until I can hit it hard and hook every time it is hard to get good back to back test as every run I am trying to time the lights just right so I doesn't build to much boost and spin

I'm really wondering how these tires whould work with less air. I read keep it above 16 psi so I never went below 16.5

I know it need rear suspension work but I cant make up my mind. I think I'm going to get some srd assassin bars then get rid of the air shocks and a second fuel pump and see what it runs.

Very nice times for limited traction and low boost. Glad to see you got your single digits!

I've seen some crazy times out of Cal-Trac rear suspension systems. They seem very drivable too.

I found that the more power I can leave on, the better the car works. I do have Caltracs and DA rear shocks.
this year I added DA front shocks but I just got the engine back in and running in time to miss the entire season.

You don't want to run the Pro's too low. I run mine around 16.5-17 lbs. and have been a best of 1.38 60' off the footbrake on 7-8 lbs. I don't have any crazy suspension and run Comp Engineering drag shocks in the rear, ha.

Congrats on the 9 second pass.
