I just read 32 pages like I was a 13 year old going through a hustler magazine.... you sir have life figured out!! The car and build are fantastic. I wish I would have found it sooner!
I noticed you ended up not running the A2W setup, any reason why, other than weight? (I noticed you weigh everything) lol

I firmly beleive it was because the convertor was so loose last year that as soon as boost would come in, the rpm would shoot straight to about 7k. Now the convertor is so tight its hard for the car to accelerate in 2nd gear. Which is great. Its just asking for power!
The air to water setup will also weigh close to 100lbs with water lol. Sucks.

So track prep wasnt in favor this day. All of my dialed in friends were going a half second slower. It was a **** show. I literally tried to launch on 2 psi of boost and spun on one pass.
pinion angle is -2, and shocks were the same settings they were last time. I loosened them a little bit and it didnt help.

So I finally got it down to the bare minumum. About zero kpa and footbraking the best the car would hold and actually cut a 1.39 60. Car came out quick and nose dived a little. I have been shifting it around 82,-8,500 in first but as I felt it slow down I glanced at the gauges and noticed mid 14's afr, so I shifted at 6,9xx and went to second gear. Not ideal by any means but the car was running 12.90-13.0 afr. so I rode out 2nd gear until I saw 14.0 and let out right about at the trap. Back in the pits one of the fuel pumps failed. Im not sure if it failed in the john force burnout pass or what. But that sucks. So I just gave up for the day. Ordered an extra pump for spare and they are warrantying this one out. I made it 18 months on these pumps last time.Only thing I can think and I did different was add filters. The filters put the inlet higher then they were by about 6-7". When I first fire the pumps I hear them whine and then smooth out. They must get air back up in the line when it sits a few and maybe thats also what was causing my injectors to not get fuel flow when it was misfiring. clogging up the top hat filters with brass material. The pumps have pre filters in the rear of them. So Im going back to them because I never had that problem last year and a half.
Stay tuned! Going back on a slick!

not bad for a peak of 14.8 psi, 19 degrees of timing, no intercooler, and 255-260 degree iats. 10 psi launch hooked but bogged rpm a little.
Just need more power now!!!
