Disappointing times tonight

With 24psi on a 8 you may be pulling timing. I would suggest putting in some race gas next time and leave everything the same to see if thats the case.

Good luck hitting you goal too.

I need to turn my MBC up about 1/2 a turn from how I drive on the street otherwise I'll only be @ 20psi while blasting down the track. It has to do with how the car is loaded when doing a 3rd gear pull from 2k-7k rpm on the street vs. shifting 1st-4th @ 5-7k RPM.

My friend has a custom tune from TT on his car. On 91 octain with 100% humidity and well over 95* heat he trapped 109 MPH at 24psi with pumpgas... its all in the tune.

I know my clutch isn't making my car slow. And I understand what everyone is saying about the 24lbs, Im going to talk to John, but I completely trust him.
I just hope that when I get the launch down, and the traction better, that my et will be what I had expected.
