    Did it have anything to do with tire pressure idea I had? Been years since I got to play with this stuff...

    Yes it did!! I forgot to add that. Those faster runs 13.36 and 13.40, both of them it spun just so lightly and was noticibly faster. When I was dead hooking I was a good tenth slower consistantly. Im running 18psi no insted of the 17psi I usually ran.

    I didnt get the chance as I wanted to get the car consistant for the eliminations. I ran a 13.500 dead on with a zero, and I dialed in a 13.50 last night in the first round. Never did I think the car would ever be so consistant. Went 13.47, 13.49, 13.50 in the three runs last night. This proves that even a turbo car is pretty conssitant.

    1 psi = 1/2 second!

    2 psi could = 1 second

    3 psi could = 1 1/2 second

    Greg taught me math awhile back and it works in all sorts of situations!

    You may have a 12 second car, actually I know you have a 12 second car, but without forged pistons it may only be once. Now with a gear change it would be a safe 12 second car.

    Let the dam tires spin a little, even 15 feet, as long as they don't just lightup and smoke!

    Ok will try some more psi in those slick. Ill let them spin more. I just still learning the car so I didnt know what would help and what would hurt it.

    Yea it may be a 12 sec car but those cast pistons scare me I think I should just continue to add parts or techniques to help compliment the car as is. I bet im close to 300Hp at the crank at a given moment.... That over double the stock engine rating.

    Exactly! You know your safe with boost you have, since you don't have bigger gears or shorter tires let them spin a little. It's actually easeir on drivetrain then a full hook too.
