New Personal Best Plus won the event!
Sup guys. Went to a local event for some shakedown passes on my new setup. Was very pleased so far. Only running wastegate spring and went 9.55@146mph with a 1.36 60'.
I had 3 back to back 9.5X passes all at 146mph
This was all at wastegate spring. When I turned the boost up on the dyno my clutch slipped so we had to back it back down. I gotta get used to winding out the gears to 9500rpms. Im still short shifting at 8000.
Can't wait for a new clutch and spring nationals at ETown!

Probably 20lbs What did that beast dyno? I remember Ray telling me a little bit about the new engine you guys were messing with and it seemed like a monster.

Nice job Ernie

Good luck nailing a sub 9 once you guys have her dialed in.
