Default How are the T/YS/YSi/F1/F1R etc., folks doing?

I'm swamped at work and am taking a class right now, so I have no time to race until after June 2nd.

How is everyone else doing?

My car is ready for some passes, just need to get a chassis cert and need to put the !console carpet in.

I'm going to make another try at the tens on Saturday (pretty pitiful huh'). I now have some M/T drag radials which will hopefully get me a better 60' than the 2.0 range I've seen lately. The rubber is so soft on these tires, you can just push your fingernail right down into them. I am also switching from alky to meth. She feels pretty decent so we will see.

I know I'm at the bottom of the food chain with this list of blowers but I do have some results. For the first time ever I'm going to have to replace the blower belt. Before making a pass I noticed that the blower belt was starting to get chewed up. After my pass it was more or less bald so I only got one pass. The M/T drag radials did what I wanted and almost dead hooked (what a difference from the Nittos).

1.74 60'
7.14 1/8th @ 99.90
11.03 1/4 @ 127.06

Damn near got my ten. The Methanol worked great. No KR detected on 93 octane @21 degrees timing. I am a little fat, around 10:1, I will try leaning it some now that I have the extra protection of the meth. This is a new best time, hopefully next time out I'll pull a ten.

My 98 Formula should be done in 3-4 weeks. Its almost got the 10pt cage finished( should be Tues) from Takash. The tranny was refreshed by Century, the converter was restalled/refreshed by Yank PT3800 now. The motor is keeping the LS6 block,Wiseco pistons, Lunati rods but everything else in the motor will be new along with Callies upgraded crank from W2W and AFR 225s. On top it has a FAST 90 intake & TB and Vortech Ttrim setup by RMCR. It has everything you can get from BMR + Spohn, Strange 12bolt w/3.42s. The car ran alot of 1.4 60's and a few 1.3s on the old setup so it should go pretty good with a little(actually alot) more power

When me and some buddys went to NHRA in Vegas last year we found a cool shop in the industrial park where the track is. They do alot of FI stuff and are the **** in that part of the country for LS1 cars:

Yah those guys recently contacted me about advertising on here (again). I hear they have pretty good experience.

You could also stop into Speed Inc. in Chicago, they tuned my car and many other 600-800rwhp LS1s.

I have my T trim maxed and am looking into going with a YSI or possibly switching over to a turbo. As far as running my best past season to date is in sig but i probably won't get any runs in soon since I blew a head gasket running bike a couple of weeks ago.
