Haven’t got the suspension off of Chris yet moneys been tight but I’ll be getting it Monday or Tuesday, so I can’t run the big tires at the track Tom, gonna go do a few low boost easy passes on the small ones and get a feel for things

Needs the suspension bad , ran it on the small tires today on low boost last pass started spining in 4th went 11.3 at 132 not that bad for the way it sits and minus 150hp compared to high boost

I didn’t have the spare money to go get the suspension and the fenders were just way to close to the slicks to run them without rubbing so I stuck with the small ones and low boost just to get a feel for things

First run was 12.01 at 107 let out at 1/8 cuz car was pulling toward the wall, second run went 11.6 @ 120 missed 4th gear, last run went 11.3@132 hit the gears clean just hit rev limit on 4th

I sure hope there’s 10s in the future, I know it has it in it just need to drive the hell out of it, ideally I’d like to see mid 10s around 140 but who the hell knows how it will go, thanks Ryan what happened on our last run

Pulled the logs from all of the runs. I hit boost cut every pass at the top of second gear. And what is weird is I was gaining boost pressure every pass meanwhile i was turning the knob on the second selenoid down further and further every pass. Maybe some of you can back me up on this but on almost every manual boost controller i have ever messed with you turn the knob clockwise to increase boost. This turboXS dual stage i just bought says to turn the knob counter clockwise to increase boost. Unless they labeled the knob wrong there is something else goofy going on here.

Your call… just remember that its not all just the spring that does work. The strut plays a very important role. 🙂
