Hey another local Houstonian here, what do you like about hmp over rpr? Last time I went to hmp it was a **** hole over crowded with lots of ghetto *** mfr's crowding the lanes. Maybe it's better now? If so I'd love to try a run there.

RPR prep is not very good on fridays, HMP prep is probably just as bad on fridays. but on sunday HMP is slicks and radials only so the prep is much better. HMP is still pretty ghetto tho lol

honestly i think a combination of both, have two mufflers and exhaust that goes all the way to the rear bumper.

Good to know, Sunday's work better for me anyways so I'll probably give it a shot.

Made a few hits this Sunday but no new Best. I am running a cheap eboost street which only has two stages of boost and I'm only able to control how soon the the gate opens which dictates how boost comes in. I put the 1st stage on the brake but problem is I have hydroboost so if you notice the brake lights stay on probably the whole 60" so I'm around 7-8psi the whole 60" till 2nd stage comes in. I'm going to put the 1st stage on the 2 step instead of the brake so the boost comes in quicker.

All in all I drove 80+ miles round trip to the track and didn't break nothing so I was happy.

Sweet nova ....what are you running for suspension? Sit nice en low!

could you just just adjust your brake light switch out some so it doesn't do that? I'm installing hydro boost also on my nova and you have me worried lol

Probably could but I don't know how quick it will release. I'm putting a transbrake on the car this weekend so the boost controller and 2 step will hook up to my trans brake button.

I think it looks good. It's a learning curve driving and setting these cars up for sure.
Get some more boost in it down low, see if that doesn't stick the tires better.

Maybe study ladder bar set ups to. There are some adjustments that can be done. Tons of info out there on that.

275 pros? What air pressure?

We are running our 408 upwards of 24 psi. Yours will really come to life with more boost.

Yup that's for sure and it's even harder with a BS eboost street with no real capability of boost ramp, you can only tell the gate when to start opening so that slows the curve down.

I was running 17psi cold on 275 pros which is probably too high for the poor prep. I have been looking at ladder bar stuff and might make some changes.


I definitely plan to turn it up next that time out, it's down for transbrake and bigger intercooler since my Inlet temps were thru the roof. I'm limited to 15-16 since I run a 2 bar map hoping to run a 5.90 @ 117+ I'll probably need to attend to my fuel system if I want to run any more boost then that.
