    As long as he wants more than $3k for it, he's keeping it.

    Reality of selling something like this.

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

I think the reason I picked up MPH in the 1/4 is i leaned it out slightly on the fly with my SDS knob. My af's were around 10.2-10.5:1 when I leaned it out I was at 11.5's. Now the air density was a lot better as I stated mefore.. typically the track is around 7000-11000 ft we were at 4400 on that day. let me dig up that slip and I'll post them both
    That makes a lot more sense already. Interesting to see how far you will go "easy" (if anything is easy lol) and when you will become taxed to make better ET.

    Good luck bro!

    Re: Took the Hoopty out for the first time this year

    I want to squeeze every bit out of it with tuning prior to just simply "upping the boost" I am trying something a little different with suspension next weekend, also I tuned the a/f maps and added a slightest bit of timiing to see what I can get. I going to run it with that damn whistle or without haha.

    You have to much timing for 10 psi on pump premium with a relatively low comp mtr and your going to up the timing before upping the boost? Sounds like danger to me.

    The track is down this weekend for repaving and last weekend was some major event thing that I wasn't about to race at for 45 bucks. Next weekend is another major event, spring nitro somethin or other. I won't race again till mid june probably.

    I'm talking very little timing. just to see what it does. If it's not favorable, then I'll back it back off. I plan on getting some 112 in there as well before tweaking too much.

    Weird, the track in Seattle is repaving the whole 330' and boxes to prevent losing their part of the west coast swing of the NHRA series. Spending a whole month paving!

    Are they spending money for fun, fixing the leak again, or ?

    I think because of the big races they are having this year, and all the complaints they have had over the last few years
