LITO pulling the timing saved the motor with it leaning out. Very nice first effort.
No doubt, that's why we all love him lol. Thanks,

That's awesome I saw that there yesterday did you look like a tomato at the end of the day for some reason we where all burnt up, it was definitely a good time, cobra jets where pretty sick to can' wait for next year againWell I wasn't able to participate in the NRMA race, not only was my car not quite ready but I ended up getting buried at work. Good news is I did make it up today to at least enjoy the day spectating, and I scored a new 1200 HP rated IC while I was there, a nice polished one from BBR, the polishing gives an extra couple HP haha, new on top:
Old IC
New
The core in this one is more than double the size of the old core, hopefully it does a much better job. I also installed the badass 165 amp alternator that DOB sent me this week, almost ready to go to the track again!

That looks good. Your getting pretty good a pluming. It also look like you mine need a little more opening or maybe a new bumper cover.
Plan for Atlanta! positive Mods are always good!
Lol, yea, it actually didn't catch up with me until a couple days later but I got burnt a bit on my neck. Glad you had a good time, honestly I was a disappointed with the turnout, but I guess it's normal for Sunday's not to be as good as Saturdays, which is when I normally go when I'm not competing.
Thanks, Manuel is getting on me about adding some wind deflector type stuff to direct the air through the IC vs. flowing around it. I know what needs to be done, but trying to figure out the best by to go about it. Leaning toward just adding some aluminum around the opening to extend it closer toward the IC and securing it with rivets. Or I'll steal the nose off my wife's car hehe, her's is a real "Eleanor" nose with a HUGE opening and giant deflector at the bottom, it would be awesome for an IC but I don't know if I like how it would look on my car, and I hate having to paint stuff so IDK.
Not sure that I can make that one either, but maybe one of the others, maybe Bowling Green in the fall, that's supposed to be the best event all year from what I hear.
Keep an eye for me I'm running around every night for the next week to break in the new motor, finally got her runningWell I wasn't able to participate in the NRMA race, not only was my car not quite ready but I ended up getting buried at work.

That looks like it will really help keep the air going where you want it to.
Damn, low boost, leaned out, and a 9.6? I can't wait to see this thing at full power!
You must of ran before we got this rain lolI went for a short drive today for the first time with the new IC, I definitely lost a couple PSI but the IAT never went above ambient, so it's working!
Me too! Hoping for 5.x 1/8th mile and 8.x quarter mile ET's..
You must of ran before we got this rain lol
How u like this weather we keep getting I thought it was spring
Lol I feel for u guys up there, use to live in Jersey it sucked to wait for the weather to let up, I guess it feels that much better when you do get the chance to drive, u know that reminds me 1320 had a video on YouTube where they where drag racing on a frozen lake you should check that out its freaking nutsRAIN, we keep getting Snow. So my car is still in storage till the end of the month. I cold deal with some rain. Hhahaha
IAT= ambient air temp, This is how it should be, I drove mine 100 miles the other day and iat were usually -1 lower than ambient at, with egt @ 192. How old was your pro charger intercooler was it the original one from the kit?,
