Tonights run

[BoostN]

Got back to the track tonight.

Made a best pass of 8.52 @ 80.50 MPH

.854 R/T
1.829 60FT
5.462 330FT
7.969 594 FT

8.528 1/8 ET

80.50 MPH

Made 6 passes with 8.8 being my worst, 2 more passes in the 8.5's, and the rest was 8.6's, and 8.7's.

Big Thanks goes out to Jim for the sleeves, one pass I boosted up and the track official said my wheels was shaking bad. I hopped bad as I could tell it.

Next, trans goes in a couple of weeks, then a lift pump, and different tuning to put the fuel to it. I'm just hazing down the track.

Overall, this isn't bad for a stock trans, as I've BEAT this thing. No limps YET.

This is a run of my 8.6, camera guy rode with me for the most night so this is the only video I got.

Not too shabby.:beer: Gettin better. I need to get back to the strip one of these days.

Thanks guys.

Noah, I'm still trying to figure out how you launched at 10 psi. My front end felt like it was falling apart.

Try launching @ 20 psi...

Jeff, try lowering your T-bars and clamping the front of the springs out back. Should help your times.

I might make it to the strip one more time on the stock trans, I'm not sure yet.

My tire pressure's was not touched either, that might of hurt me.

Very true, try lowering the fronts to low 30's and the rears to around 35-38 psi...

All I do is drop my t-bars all the way down, then as I'm staging I start to build up the boost.
I pull up ant trip the first staging light then try to wait for the other person to fully stage. then as you ease forward, keep building your boost till you get it where you want it, then trip the second staging light and hold the boost pressure and when the lights drop, just let off the brake and toe nail it. It'll take a little bit of practice to get it just right.
