    Only changes from last weekend was:
    1) hey, it's Cecil
    2) overboost set to 32psi to manage the spike.

    Mpscandroid Log showed a spike of 30.2psi. Spreadsheet average boost during run calculated 23.9 psi.

    It's already a great day!

    It looks like she had treed me, but she red lighted.
    There was some good shots of our cars in that montage! They should have got more of your car Mike and Adam's.
    Did they line you guys up for a race together?

    I had a blast as always. Great to see everyone, catch up and see some great passes being made

    I brought the Shadow out to make some pump gas runs and tinker with the tune. Fought a cut out issue after launching, which ended up being fuel delivery issue, but car was trapping 118 mph with the cut out on pump gas. Ended up getting two in car videos before I nearly filled the tank to avoid the pump sucking air.

    Copied from my build thread.
    The mission was to run at low boost and get some data, and get an idea of what the tuning was going to be.

    I went preloaded with tunes donate by may friends in the community and went pretty conservative.

    With the new ability to datalog, and driving what was essentially a new car to me, I kept my eyes on the track, the tach and the wideband for my passes. I had no idea what the boost was until I checked the logs. I had a 10psi spring combo in the gate, but as it turns out, boost creeped up to 23psi. It was more that safely rich for the first pass, and I took a bit more fuel out on each of the subsequent passes. Thanks to Brian Slowe for his tuning advice. Needless to say, I was pretty ecstatic about how it ran the first time out.





    I'd like to thank all those that had help in this project. I truly feel this is a team effort, as I could not have gotten this far without very dear friends and members of the Shelby Dodge Community.

    I thought someone said 15psi? You had creep to 23? I know that feeling! Sounds like you need a bigger gate...

    Does anyone know who this gentleman is, or who he works with.
    He got some footage of the van and then came to the pits for more video and some info. I know he is going to try contacting me for my footage through FB, but since i rarely use it, i'm not certain I've even got it set right for people to contact me.
    He was pretty pumped about it! As was i so i probably screwed up all the audio he recorded by not having my head straight!
    Mike, do you know of him?
