Finally broke the 9 second barrier this weekend. Went to Pittsburgh Raceway saturday and ran few 9 second passes on 14psi. THen off to Maryland International sunday and put down two 9 second passes before getting kicked out but it was last run of the day anyway 
At PRP my first run did not hook at all and i missed second gear…in an automatic 
Threw into neutral since i thought i was in second…blah and blew reference vacuum line off my wastegate so it started to spike boost but it just ran like shit. 11.0 at 133 spinning all of first
Next run no changes, soft launch at 1.59 60 foot, running 6.45 at 111.8 in the 1/8, hitting 9.97 at 139.8 mph!

Last pass at PRP was my best but no vid, sorry. My friend Josh (Hotrod16105 on these boards) took a few pics of the car and a pic of the ET. I have to get them off his camera

Pump gas 93 oct, no boost on launch, stock 10 bolt 2.73 gear! Havent even played with timing yet.
At MIR I went 9.86 at 139 on my first pass. Same tune as last 9.86. Have no 10pt cage and all the goodies for 9’s so they told me to keep it in the 10’s.

Last pass of the night I put in some 110 oct to mix with my 93. Turned the controller to what i was hoping would be 18 psi. Added 4 degree timing, leaned it out just a bit and went for broke. Car launched hard but on the 1-2 shift car felt kinda dead to me. Stayed in it for a 9.73 at 141.98. I got back to the pits to find a vacuum line disconnected from the intake elbow so it was bleeding air. Think it popped off at the 1-2 shift but not sure. Logs show solid 16.5-16.6 psi across all rpms but fat 10.0 to 1 air fuel, not like my normal 11.4-11.5 runs at 14 psi and pump gas. Not sure what happened. Anytime this car shows boost onthe logs but have vacuum line disconnected it dont run good.
Car didnt like the quick guess at a race gas tune i suppose… But it sure felt like a good run at first. Just didnt seem to keep pulling on top end like I would expect for 16.6 psi… figured 17psi would get me 144mph. All together I think it would have went 9.5’s on that pass at 144
1.49 60 foot, foot brake to 3K, no boost on launch
