best run of the day with the problems i was having on street tires was 14.6
still trying to figure out how the hell to launch this beast looks im at around 4,200 rpm launches to keep her from bogging
well this is the breakdown be gentle
rt .900
60 2.394
330 6.493
1/8 9.699
mph 75.38
1000 12.436
1/4 14.670
mph. 102.78
boost was locked at 15-16 psi also
car was breaking up pretty bad all of the day so i have to see whats up tom(xtreme) had the same problem and he said a change of plugs solved that so thats next
Also i had a problem with one shifter cable not letting me into gear so that a issue to address
other then me needing real tires and a tune and minor stuff im pretty happy for the first run without fine tuning it
also once i get the wb that will help me a ton with tuning

Thats a good run. I honestly believe any car that can run 14's or faster is to be envied. :clap:
Trapping at over 100mph deserves a :partywoot: :hail:
You say T3/T4 but what specs?

t3/4 stage 2 .63 come in like hell at about 3500
hopefully once i take out the plugs out tommorrow i can see what they look like
egt's hit 1625 right befoe hitting the finish line

Nice. 1625 is getting a bit toasty, could be why your breaking up.

its only that how last 200 or so feet from the finish line other then that its 1400-1500 during the run next time im gonn bring a few sets of plugs
i was told that i could be "blowing out the spark" and to close the gap to about .32

Or even .028" I wouldn't run over .030" when drag racing.

I feel a WB is good for tuning but if you have a an AF guage and its accurate, thats all you need for Drag racing. I had my DD checked, its bang on.

cool but i dont think it was detention problems i think it was just not the right set of plugs and a .35 gap also didnt help

rember everything was all over the place timing was off shitty tires 2nd gear problems and i even think my fuel wasent right
2 weeks will be the new run for me and will have fuel fixed with a wideband on it 2nd gear is fixed (dam cable) tires might be replaced so i should do much better
