Back from the track
Good job Bos! It seems your going in the right direction. I set my shocks at 3 and 3. 14 psi and 27'' quick times. Dead hook off the trans break. Good luck. Andy. BTW my wheels were still slipping on the tires at 14psi. I have them screwed now.
Thats awesome bos, didnt notice this thread until now. You should be able to get some 9's in good weather and a good 60'
Glad all the waiting and work finally paid off for you.

When you say 3 and 3 you had the rears at 3?

Sounds nice. On my 10.3 pass I went 105mph in the 1/8th but I did not go off the 'brake on that pass. The other folks who have gone high 9's have typically gone 110mph in the 1/8th.

were you on the revlimiter at all?? Revlimiters are not our friend!!! 
Another problem that we've seen come up is the head unit itself "shifts"...the shaft that the pulley is on can sometimes slide in and out. Check to make sure that isn't happening. We've seen that a few times...
Also...we have an F series head unit coming that we will be playing with on an LS1. Because the bracket design is different than the P and D series, our tensioner system may need some adjustments to work better with the different bracket design. BOS, because you're the first guy that has our tensioner on the F series, we'll work with you in any way we can to get it right. Is there anything we can do right now? Let me know...
Do you have any video of your track passes?

I got no video at all.......
I need to shim the 90mm out close towards the motor, that will make the crank, blower, and 90mm pulley all perfect.......but the spring tensioner pulley will still be sitting back in its original position, any way around this?
If I got to move that spring pulley over some that would make them all line up......
