Weather was fantastic today -- great tail wind at the track, and excellent turnout. It was so busy, I only got two runs in during fun runs.

10.867 @ 137.36 was my best for the day on the new setup on 24psi.

Thanks! Yeah, it was on the C16 tune that I was using for the dyno. Just had the boost turned down to 24psi for its first run to get a feel for how the car was going to react with the slicks. Absolutely terrible 60's though. 1.795 (2-step) and 1.741 (2-step with anti-lag set for 15psi). The slicks were at 19psi with no major wheel spin.

The antilag was set too rich, so once I got up to 15psi at the line and went, it left the line SUPER fouled out, and ran like shiat for 1st and 2nd gears, causing me to have a 11.1 @ 132.93.

If you "turned down the boost to 24psi" what did you dyno it at? and do you plan on running your car later this year at that amout of boost?.

What is your "new" setup anyways? PM me if you don't want everyone to know. that is if your willing to tell your setup.

I dyno'd at 35psi.

I took a couple hundred pounds out of the car, put lighter rims and slicks on it, and tuned the crap out of it. That is the "new" setup. Along with solid motor mounts, another rebuilt tranny, coilovers, different brakes.

Other than that, it is still the same ole car.

Just need to finish the cage, install the kirkey seats, harnesses, window net, etc.

Thanks guys!! I appreciate the congratulations, and hopefully next time out it will be a faster run. I do need to pull the tranny and replace a 3rd gear synchro, and inspect the front axles -- I might have damaged the CV cups.

There were alot of really nice runs on Sunday, including a Quick 8 Class win for Ed Horman (black 1995 eagle talon) with 2nd place for Prescott in the Underdog!

Ivan had the 240 running 9.4-9.5's @ 151-153mph pulling the 'chute.

Geronimo was running 8.9's!!

Bee was there racing, while Mike Reichen (evo 1), Ray Castro (GVR4), Yusef Begic (evo 1) were hanging out and doing some fun passes.

Thanks guys for all the congratulations!

I hope to see you guys down there on the #3 race. I took out my motor and transmission, and I am in the process of refreshing both things.

Had a cracked ring on a piston, and 150's for compression across the board on a 9.0:1 motor. I am re-ringing and putting in fresh bearings, etc.

The cylinder head is going to get fresh valve seals also.

The trans had a broken hub/slider key snapring, and needs new bearings and a new 3rd gear synchro and hub/slider.
