    First time I really played with the car all year. Left at 4000 on the trans brake (about 8-9psi) and went a 1.32 60ft carrying the tires a little. This was on a 325 MT radial. I took a gamble and ran on straight 100 unleaded instead of mixing in a little C16. Motor held together, so I guess I'm ok. :D I did change the fuel system a little. No more twin walbros with boost a pump. Now I'm running 3 walbros alone. The added fuel volume has allowed me to drop the duty cycle on my 83lb injectors.

    Where did it pick up Rob ? Or was the timing more appropriate for the octane level ?

    Thanks.

    The suspension is still the same: Wolf uppers/lowers and anti-roll bar, stock springs, strange single adjustable shocks, 70/30s with coil overs up front.

    Picked up from more boost, but the tune is super fat (about 9.5 thru the pass).

    Oh I was wondering too.Did you dump the laundry on that pass or is that just using the brakes at the end?It looked like it was slowing down pretty fast.You better not bring that thing down here and run it,We don`t have that much flat ground for a track and enough room to stop! :D

    I left the car alone for awhile to save some cash. Got too boring not racing though. I have a completely stock tank with a pickup tube. The 3 pumps are mounted in front of the tank.

    No chute on that pass, shutdown is long at that track. I have another vid to post where I did pull it though.

    I just got one of those GoPro cameras and was playing with it. The sound is totally muffled. It says you can remove a cover to get better sound. Have to try it next time. I'll post another vid from yesterday without music.
