Back from the track new best times.
 
At Brainerd this weekend my old truck which weighed in at 4150 lbs finally got its act together after many months of troubleshooting. Went 11.41 @8psi then I upped the boost to 14psi and it went 11.01. I still felt something was wrong so I took 3 jet sizes out of the secondarys and then it went 10.78, 10.76 and on the final pass of the weekend 10.68@124.8. I think it's still richer than needed but without a wideband I'm not taking anymore out. Also the old turbos are pretty much maxed out so an upgrade is going to be needed this winter. I also met some other board members while there which was pretty cool. You know who you are and thanks for stopping by.

Bad, I wish I could have made it up there. I have to think that the time and speed you ran surprised a lot of people up there as they generally don't expect our trucks to be fast. Running 10s is no joke and takes a lot of thought and I'm sure $$$$$$$$$$$. Any videos we can watch? You have a pm.

Sweet! Too bad you are not closer, I would love to watch your truck run those times.

I will hopefully have videos at some point. Have to wait for the camera person to put them on cd for me and others.
