Thanks David.

I got the turbo from BTR. Some sort of a knock off I presume.

We pulled the plugs and could barely see any timing mark on the straps.

I’m planning to race in the 8.50 index class and maybe some Lil’ Gangsters if we get an event near me. So, no need to be on kill.

I will certainly make a few hero passes at some point.

Definitely loafing at 1,100whp with that back pressure and timing.
Hopefully you'll get to enjoy the car now for little bit in the 8.50 classes and Lil Gangsters looks like a great class and seems to be getting bigger at every event.

Is this the same as when you ran your 8.21@173? What’s your race weight?

I think Pete is non-intercooled?

The 8.21 was with an FIS 91/102 S400 frame. Also at 13.5:1 CR.
after the accident, is when I rebuilt with the GT55 frame turbo. Also, new pistons to make it 9.5:1CR.
race weight has not changed… 2800lbs

Correct. No intercooler.
