Well I finally was able to make it to the track last night. I was able to make 5 passes before the rain came but it was a lot of fun. I only got to run it twice on my big tune. The first pass I ran a 13.2xx @ 102 and the second one was this.

Here's a picture of my race setup.

I'm pretty happy with the run but I think she's got a little more left in her. I wanted to crack 12s in a bad way. Here's a video of the 13.1 pass.

Well done! It sure is a blast isn't it? Heart is pounding (more so first time), nervous, anxious, and then the best adrenaline rush!

Yes exactly. I was sitting at the line shakin like a leaf and then I left the line like a bat outta hell and before you know it your standing on the brakes excited to do it again. Its like doing a line of coke... :D

I plan on focusing on that 60 ft and messing with air pressure in the tires. I only built 8-10 lbs sitting at the line and wasn't pushing thru the brakes so I know there's more left in it. I m looking forward to goin back again here in a few weeks for diesel only event on the 22nd.

Any advice on dropping the torsion bars all the way down on stock/purple keys? My buddy was telling to try cranking the passenger side a few turns to counteract it as it twists slightly off the line and keep it planted better out of the hole but never got a chance to try it out.

Get a lockup controller from Ben @ BT Diesel Works & you will easily be in 12's also.:thumb:

Nice runs:D

Yes I know all about Ben's lockup box. I m running his digital dsp5. I d like to crack 12s w/o it though. I m planning on dropping my tire pressure down to 25-30 psi and see how she likes that since I left the tires at 50 psi on my 13.1 pass.
