Best run so far has been a 12.25 @116 without much grip or practice on 22x8 m/t slicks with a 1.85 60" (breaking loose well past the 60' mark)
Tryed some 26x8.5 m/t's last week and broke the outer cv joint on the pass side and the car was pulling hard lol.
on my best run i ran 14 lbs boost then switch to 20 at the top of 2nd around 70-80 mph, need to mount the switch closer to the shifter oops, i love the two stage it feels like your hitting the nitrous when you hit it you can really feel it set you back in the seat.

Im going to try short shifting into second to try and improve my 1/8 mile time from 8.06 @ 95.6, think i banged off the rev limiter and backfired on every single shift.
