Much better tonight, got 6 runs in, last week, only 3, I could have run 2 more but read on and see why.
Got there, rushed around, got the race fuel in and had time to rip to the staging lanes, I was the last one, ran a 14.0@98 mph, race fuel didn't have time to mix and it was FAT, 25 psi, 2.1 60ft.
Take out some fuel, and off I go, rip off a 13.9@98.80 mph and a 2.2 60ft. Track isn't sticky tonight, still rich.
Take out some fuel and back I go, 13.7@99.46 mph, 2.1 60ft and now she's lean, grrrrrrrrr.
Add some more fuel and add a rock to my MBC to bump up the boost, stage and something doesn't feel right, it barely did a burn out. Launch and its gutless, look at my boost guage, 8 psi, :eek:, run a screaming 16.5@78 mph.
Go back and fix it, so I thought, another screamer, literally same time.
Go back and remove rock, stretch spring and go back, run and she's pulling, don't notice how much boost but she pings then a pop, look at the boost, oops, 35 psi. Ended up blowing the head gasket at #1 cylinder.
Guess its time to rering and get rid of the Total Seal rings and get a Super50 compressor wheel, :thumb: I NEED to get the alky system working, the mixing of race fuel and pump gas is holding me back.
Time is running out to run 12's, don't think I am going to do it this year, :( :( :( :(
