its right around 12-12.5psi when I shift 2-3, never goes any lower then 10psi after a shift. Never know with a 50.00 boost gauge though, could be off..

Brian H was there and said it was lifting them about a foot even and carrying them a good bit. Car felt good leaving. I am trying not to get the car to wheelstand, too much low hanging stuff to break if it comes down too hard..

Duh, missed the tire part, right after a pass I check them and they are 14 -14.5 psi. They were like 12 after sitting an hour.

Spohn drag bar, little preload on the RH side. I was going to put the fancy DA Strange shocks on the back but they wont work with this sway bar so I just stuck the stock shocks back on for now.

Yah we love the Spohn drag bar, nice looking, easy to install, and chromoly to boot. You think that scoop helped that much?

Its not chrome moly I dont think, friggin thing weighs 35lbs

Every little bit helps, the brakes helped, the filter was covered before on the bottom and I'm sure directing some air its way didnt hurt.

I had the tune pretty soft down low because if the ET streest before, cranking up the bottom end between the the converter flash (4200) and 5500 is what did it. I couldnt do that with the ET streets since it would just blow them away if I did. I didnt fool with it at commerce at all when I had the ET drags on at first, too hot and I was more concerned with nice pictures..

Told ya it'd go nines sooner than later.
Way to go KP glad its working awesome for you.
I take it the MONDO is holding steady now, not leaking boost anymore?
SDCE set up rocks, no slip=working on other parts of your combo to go faster.
3.4 the D1 now and have some more fun

Oh yea, thats another thing I did - fixed the Mondo. Kept blowing off that o-ring, tried a new o=ring the same size and it blew it off, glued it in and it blew it off again. When I bought the 4" OBX intercooler they gave me a free cheapo BOV and it had 2 o-rings on the outside so you could screw the top off - turns out they were the right diameter and a little thicker, had to jam it in there but it hasnt blown off yet.

Not enough injector or gear for the 3.4 pulley, tried it on the street and while it really pumped the midrange boost up (3psi @ 4500), after 6200rpm the injectors were at 101% just to keep a 12:1 a/f and the a/f started climbing after that @ 60psi When it cools off out it will be plenty quick..

Cool, yeah I got the same BOV too when I bought the IC

Get some injectors and gears then...its never quick enough...you prove this by constantly refining your tune and suspension set up Go for that other red formula, that is who I was gunning for with my D1 poor man set up
9.50@138-140 with the 3.4 in this weather....I think she can do it

I wont have the car at NvsS Kurt, 11 passes in 95 degree Atlanta weather July 13th and 9 passes in the heat again last night and I'm done for a few weeks. I'm sick of cleaning the rubber off this thing I am going there to help someone out with their car Saturday evening so I may come up early just to spectate/hang but these 500 mile round trips towing through the mountains at 3am and are taking their toll

j, I know it would go 9.70s with the 3.4. If I was gunning for anyone it would be a lot quicker then it is now. My goal was a reliable, fun car and stay above 9.99 so I dont have to deal with the safety stuff/license etc - been there and just dont want the hassle. The car still has more in it with the 3.7, I'm still on stock connecting rods so I dont want to blow it up just yet. It would run 137-138 at BG right now but I really have the timing backed off up high, I see no reason to beat it up on the top end for a couple mph..

Very nice from a fellow D1SC'er. If you remember we met down in Atlanta. I was with the Ohio Boyz and doing alot of video taping. I believe we were discussing the make-up of VHT at one point. Congrats again, you should really re-consider N vs. S there are only 4 of these things ya know.

PSJ is .3 quicker and running 8mph faster in worst weather already, if he gets the 60' down he will have me by half a second or more so not much of a race. He has me by at least 100rwhp on a bad day lol.. Plus I'm not legal to run 9s anyhow..
