Still chasing #'s

Got 3 passes in on a stock syncro trans, from a jdm front clip part out, broke a inner axle on 4th pass... 155.+ mph trap got to get my short game figured back out, use to 1.3 like its job now just high 1.4's
The saga continues

Not sure, gonna scrutinize the data logs, we even lost mph in the 1/8, (did 120b4) actually think lowering the tire press has made it worse, we went back up then broke a axle, so...
But 2psi more boost than previous runs, some thin missing in the first 1/8

Gonna channel my inner roan and try power shifting, also gonna tear my liberty open and see if some of my local fab team can fix Humpty Dumpty

Do u feel a difference in power after the 1/8? 10 mph is a lot to gain in the 1/4, but u gained it all after the 1/8 but even more so when compared to your previous passes. 120 to 145 mph compared to 114 to 155 mph! Theres a big piece of puzzle missing.

What parts did you add or improve since the 1.3s?

the 1.3s were with less power, factory flywheel, and et-streets

with new motor build we noticed a hairline in the factory FW, ditched it for ACt streetlight, then everythgin else the same, was blowing the tires off, kept lowering 2 step finally got low 1,4's back but no 1.3's
then we switched to a 15"full slick to aid top end stability and overall grab, well 60's still 1.4's we dropped tire press all the way down to 8, and it seems as if it has gotten worse with lower press, we also noticed the bit of a bunny hop from bottoming out the suspension, so we've been stiffing the rear one click at a time, and the last pass i decided to go back up to 9 on tire pressure and we broke the diff, not a axle cup
so thinking tire pressure might need to come up then see how she fares.....

reality is guys i sat on the revlimiter from 1-2 for .9 of a sec in my data logs, got to get use to how quick the shifts are gonna come

NICE trap speed 155mph is 8 sec et's. Are you getting tempted to put a solid rear end or not yet?
