Default My car is liking the cooler weather:

26psi on Race Gas (mix of 91pump and 109 unleaded, probably ~105-106):



For the last run of the night I upped the boost to 30psi in an attempt to run a sub 11.50 but ran an 11.7@126 w/ a 2.1 60'

I also ran on Friday night on pump gas @24psi and ran a best of 11.70@120.7 w/ a 1.77 60'

Thanks all.

Now if I can just be consistant when it counts...[&:]

I'm going to be bracket racing this Saturday, running 22psi to help w/ traction. Maybe after I loose in the first round I'll turn up the boost again and see what it'll do if the traction is better.

Yeah, cold air is even nicer. My car loves the colder air. Those are some nice times. I'm not really familiar with trap speeds and how they relate to time, but aren't those trap speeds a bit high for the time you have? Indicating a loss of traction at the line? Could be wrong though. But what do I know...I run 16.0-16.1 with my neon at 87-88mph. Oh noes....I got no TORQUE!!!![:@]

Yea, if I could get the traction of a RWD, it'd be close to or in the 10's. Sixty foot times in the 1.8 range aren't all that great, a low 1.7 or 1.6 would be nice. My best 60', IIRC is a 1.76
