Hello everybody, the 1/8th mile track I go to all the time finally opened up yesterday for the first time this year, and my car ran great especially being on the first tune from Mike Rousch. Just for information purposes the track's DA was at a minimum of 8700' even though it was a bit chili, and last year before my car had the blower, the car ran a best of 8.2 at around 83-84 mph with a best 60' time of 1.74
Aside from the blower, I switched from my quick time pros that I had left over from my manual 2012 car, to some MT radial pros (which worked great), and I also installed a Steeda poly upper control arm bushing into the rear's housing. Also the front sway bar is now off the car, and a BMR radiator support was installed while doing the blower.
First run out, I ran a 7.2@ 97mph, and made three more runs with very similar results with 60's being in the 1.6 range. my best pass of the day ended up being a 7.1@the same speed. So, pretty much shaving off a solid second in the eighth is what the blower netted me, so I'm pretty damn excited. Not too bad with very little suspension work, a nice stall, and running in 8500' air. I know at the end of the day I had a fist full of white time-slips with only one yellow!!!
