My last few passes I running mid 10's on and off the throttle. If Im not in boost the whole time, my *** end comes up and then the turbo hits, getting me squirrly.


Thanks Cris.
Congrats Ernie!! Even if you havent ran a number...you're gettin the info you need to go out and bust down some KILLER times Cant wait to see what you do....i ALWAYS follow your car and accomplishments.

Why dont you build an aluminum filler tank or something? Thats one of the 1st things i did. I hate plastic parts!!

The G-Force is great. My first gear is longer than stock so its taking some gettting used to, riding it out longer so it doesn't bog in 2nd gear. My 60' times are money. All 7 passes today in the low 1.4's. On the last run my oil filler neck came apart at about 140mph and it blew oil on my windshield through my vented hood. I knew at that point, something was wrong so I shut the car down and coasted to a stop. Then the smoke started to bellow out under the hood. I almost **** myself trying to get out of the car. I keep a fire extinguisher in the car, (thank god), and popped the hood. I got it out before any flames started to cook anything. Got it back to the pits, cleaned it up. All seems well. So I will install a NEW filler neck, lol. That one was jb welded. Not a good idea, hindsight being 20/20.

Glad you are OK.

First gear is longer, what about the others? Do they support an engine with that turbo?
Is it a cluchless system??

Same thing happened to my car a few years ago but I was not as lucky! Glad it turned out well. Man, you just keep going and going. I gotta be there for your first 8 sec pass!!!!
