WOW. That SOB really pulls from the 1/8 on.....not that 5.38 is any slouch. Congrats!!

The car is a slug for the first 60-100 ft currently. We have the boost ramped in slow with the controller, thinking about just getting rid of the ramp if we get another chance to test this year. If we do that and get the 60' back down in the 1.25 range the front half should be a lot better. The car has been 5.29 to the 1/8th before even with the slower ramp.

This angle of the run that shows how soft it was out of the hole, then it just moves out. Time to get a little hotter on the launch and ramp boost in quicker:

I think the other car almost had you.......................if you sat on the line for another 8 seconds....

I didn't think it was taking any longer to spool up at elevation, but after looking at that video it's pretty obvious it is.
