Kind of like my first pass when I kept backing off the throttle for no reason? lol ---

Nah, that was practice. It was smart to take it easy at first. As much as everyone wants you to run a 4.02 @ 348.34mph you need to feel out the car first and know how it’s going to react. ---

I only wanted to see him go 155+ 348.34 he might need to run on his final tune and not on the gate. ---

I think its in here somewhere that my goal was 140mph on a stock motor. I beat that first pass. I will certainly got for 9s at 150 though. High boost still scares me ☹ Tune needs a ton of work on high boost too but I really don’t have a lot of data at this time. ---

High boost still scares me ☹ Tune needs a ton of work on high boost too but I really don’t have a lot of data at this time. We should just setup the HP tuners interface to record that way the laptop doesn’t need to be on each run. ---

Just so everyone knows Friday they are running the 1/8th mile nationals at Empire. They are still going to do TNT however the track is expected to be very busy. I am still interested in going if you guys are but im sure it will be busy. My goal is to try to run a 9sec pass. Realistically this will be the first time trying to launch on a prepped surface so im not sure the 2-3 passes I will likely get to run will let me dial it in. But as long as we go quicker than 10.45 I am headed in the right direction. I will probably leave work early on Friday so I can get to the track around 3-3:30 for anyone interested in an early departure. ---

Are you sure they’re letting people run 1/4 mile passes? I swear I went to one of these a few years back and they were only giving out 1/8th mile timeslips ---

I called to make sure they were running TNT and 1/4 mi. However maybe a second call to confirm they are doing 1/4 slips would be in order. ---
