That run is on pretty low boost. Around 16psi. It appears I am having converter issues as I turned it up next run and was on the limiter well before the traps at 150mph. I have enough gear for about 185mph so something isn’t working lol I changed to a different converter Saturday night. If I can get the car squared up during the week ill head back friday to make some 20-24psi hits… ---

Nice pass! Too bad I couldn’t make it out… we might be pretty close with everything… Mine goes about the 9.0 range on 16ish and my 8.50 passes are on about 21. I’m 50/50 going to the track this Fri for a Moms race. ---

I’m 50/50 going to the track this Fri for a Moms race. I don’t really want to go for a MOMs night because of how busy it is but maybe the week after? I will let the slips do the talking later in the season but yeah I think we will be a great match once im sorted. ---

> [@DigRacer](#): > > They said the hole in the cover is for a compressor wheel speed sensor, but not sure what kind of sensor you would use or what you would do with the data. Lol. I’m sure you don’t want to over spin the turbo, but not sure how you would adjust that. It’s so you can check the efficiency of your turbo set up. If you are over spinning your turbo you will not make more power and eventually it will do damage [#compressormaps](http://www.nyspeed.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=compressormaps) .

> [@Gus](#): > > Was the converter letting out, the cause of motor 1 to explode? I would speculate that it caused the condition resulting in that motor letting go. But I also know better than to ride a rev limiter at full load and 20+psi haha. ---
