Don't have a 30" tall tire yet or a solid roller nor will it be street. I'll probably be fine but like I said I "may" have to push the limiter up, we'll see.

Anyway, I'm glad to see Fireball moving on down the ET road, hope to join him and others one of these days.

little update...learned alot more yesterday during our local DR 1/8 mile race

1. Went a new best...5.645 @ 130.58 (1.41 60')

2. The BS3 does not like to be ran at 10V (broke an alternator reference wire)

3. my AR on the turbine is WAY to f'n big...even with a commanded fast ramp rate...I could only get the turbo to 17psi at the 1/8 mile stripe (should've been 20+ within 3 sec)

4. Ordering my new turbine housing this week

Brian,car definately looked better after you fixed the ref. wire,no more diesel imitations!.

Car looked good all night,and i think your on the right path with the AR,that turbo isnt even working hard at mid track.

im gonna try to get a new video camera soon (if money allows) and ill start getting video's at midtrack for ya.
