leave on more boost? I think it is just having seat time in the car and knowing what to do over a different tune my friend.

I think what would be really cool would be a run some good numbers with the GT47-88, and then mod the kit to fit on the 106mm and see how much nitrous I would need to spool it up.

I've been to the track 5 times with the Formula, the first two trips were cut short due to mechanical problems and I was not able to make full hits. One of times was that time at GLD when Jim and Dan were helping me diagnose the issue, and I ended up going back to stock rockers.

The last time I went out and ran that 9.44 pass, I only made two hits, a 10.doh and a 9.4, and then I had some problems. Problems are all fixed so hopefully I've got a clear shot now to run the car. When I say turn it up, I mean run it up to the boost level that it was dynoed at, 25psi, which I have never run at. I mostly ran at 20 psi before but the car had some problems.

Haider, Larry, you guys think I should go to Byron or GLD, I don't think GLD will let me run on a regular nite until I get my license. I guess my next time out I should just get that dang license.
