Made it to the track for the first time today with my blower setup. My first pass just seemed to blow the 26x8.5 m/t tires off in first and second gear so I could not make a full pass, 12.32 @106. After a couple of those spooky passes I started leaving in second gear and I was able to go 11.94 @120. I never made a clean pass all day but I did manage a 11.492 @ 119mph using all 3 gears. The worst part was we were never able to data record from the lm1 (or o2 on the ecu). We later found out the alternator decided to quit and are hoping the lm1 just could not work properly with just a draining battery.
Just thought I would share, Steve

I agree. Do you have any pics or information about your car? Sounds like it has the potential to be a low 11 second car high 10's.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I still have a whole bunch to figure out, One of them is to find out how big of a tire I can fit without a minitub.
Brian, Where is Kiler WI and what track do you go to?

Should be able to fit a 28x9 slick under it without much problem.
Nice times. Unhook the front sway bar next time too! Should help BUNCHES!!
