Ok, not really but I got it.
Should have been way more aggressive, but was also tuning my buddies car.
Good way to polish off the season.
Soft 60' Should have upped the launch, but when I did it just spun.


8.983@153.45

E85 and 17* timing.
I was leaving at about 6 psi.

Thanks guys. I drove it there. 80 mile round trip.
Had a state cop on my *** for five miles on the way down. He must have come out of my trunk! Saw the big hat flipping back and forth as he moved right up on my *** checking on his computer......

The two step doesn’t control timing. I’ve tailored the timing table to ramp the timing down when I stage. So the timing is at 13 when the two step is on and I’m floored. It builds boost before the tree comes down

Nice job Ron. That’ll make winter a little easier to tolerate! We’re you on bias slicks or radials?

Thanks guys. I’m actually a little disappointed in my driving as well as making adjustments to the car. The 60’ should have been much better.
Oh well, next year.

I also noticed oil dripping off the pan after each pass. My guess is too much crankcase pressure caused by the added boost and the fact that my breather setup is really sad. So some work to do over the winter.
