Default Big MPH, Little guy.
so i tried out 16.5psi this evening on a new set of hoosiers. (765 rwhp tune)

first pass spun all over the track 10.6 at 138.

second pass missed 4th, but felt good

third pass i completely F'd the launch, it barely stayed running.

but hey i am not complaining!

In case anyone is not so good at math that is a pick up of 35mph on the second 1/8th. (be sure to calculate what my mph would have been if i had not missed 4th on the previous pass. )

this was on amoco 93 octane and the snow methanol kit with 220psi pump and single 625ml nozzle on top of the mototron 60# injectors. water (not ice) in the intercooler.

i am going to an f body event at MIR tomorrow to go for a complete pass.

Nice MPH, you win the prize, what would you like? Nice to see someone finally beat Harl's almost three year old record for M6 MPH.
