Uh, Tony....the S&B intake draws air from underneath, in front of the wheel. :D No more headlight removal...:)

I got a couple tricks up my sleeve for the next time...an 11 will happen eventually.

Matt hasnt talked to you yet, has he? ;) We've been discussing it. If ya cant beat em, join em.

I figure a trip to Ohio is in order next spring, but you'll have to reteach me how to drive.

Went back out today, and I'll let the timeslip tell the story. :D I'm #4333.

I was racing the dunebuggy from the previous pics I posted, too. We were side by side the entire way down the track. He finally put wheelie bars on it and made for a very fun race. :)

Had 2 previous runs at [email protected] and [email protected]. Both had 60fts of 1.80+, which when I looked at my logs was because I was leaving at 1700rpm instead of 2000. :rolleyes:
I finally got my head out of my butt and ran the 12.14. Rail pressure is 20,600 on all three runs, though. I lowered pulse to 2750 (-100) on the 12.14 but it didnt make a difference with rail pressure. So, next purchase is probably a new CP3, as I think mine is finally getting tired of this racing stuff. At 160,000 miles and with how Ive run my truck, I think its done its job admirably, but the 30% injectors were the final straw. :)

So there ya go. Not an 11.99, but I'll take it. Nothing broke, motor is holding together nicely.

Congrats Tom:hug:

It has been a long time in the making, glad to see your efforts pay off. A stock turbo truck going 111mph is quite a feat. Not to mention your E.T.:thumb:

Next year should be interesting.....

Yes, it should. :D I want to see you in the low 12s next year too, Darius. :)

Now that I think about it, I need drag radials and a BD wastegate too. Gotta find a way to keep boost up in the 30 range after shifts.

Congrats Tom,

That is moving.........:D

Now go update the list........
Thanks. Done.
