Default More progress, 9.1 @151

We took the shop car out to the track again last night after making some suspension adjustments and were finally able to get the car to hook (after some further adjustments to tire pressure, boost controller ramp rate, and 2-step rpm).

Timeslip reads-

60ft 1.406

1/8 5.874

1/8mph 122.06

1/4 9.108

1/4mph 151.82

For the next run, we bumped the 2-step up to 4,300 and it pulled a 1.306 60ft, but it also pulled a massive wheelie and came down pretty hard so the run was aborted. (and the staging lanes were closed)

This was at 21lbs boost.

Making good progress, though I would have liked to see a full pass with that 1.3 60ft We'll get a few more runs on it and then maybe turn up the boost a bit.

Your really moving in that car, its crazy fast for a 6spd. You must be a hell of a driver.
