Let me start off by saying

OK, First time ever to a track while driving and the first time at all in 15 years or so. At this track you cannot drive around the water, the water pit covers the entire entry. So I got wet tires. Didn't do a burn out cause I wasn't sure I even could. Staged. Green light, go. TIRE SPIN! And oh, TRACTION CONTROL kicks in!! Forgot to turn that off. Reach up turn it off and the power comes back. I'm off. Felt like a good run after the start, which sucked. Turn off the track and my engine is vibrating and the SES is blinking its *** of at me. AWESOME!! I dropped an injector during the run. Couldn't figure out which one it was and, the ones I could get to w/o taking things apart weren't the problem. Parked it and watched the races. Still had a good time but I know I could have got a better time if I got a few more runs.

The SRT-10 ran an 11.00 first run but he got it down to 9.4 before the end of the night. We didn’t get to line up. If we had I would have beat him on the first run. I got some vids but the quality suck and they aren’t worth posting. Besides it would be June before the optimized.
Nighty night!

So did dropping the injector mess anything up?

Not that I can tell. I drove home, about 45 minutes. Runs like *** at low speed. Runs fine at 70. I've had this happen before. The connectors on the injector get loose and the injector doesn't get the voltage to open. I scanned it when I got home and of course its not telling which injector it is, just that it is an injector. It actaully said Random/Multi Cyl Misfire. P0300 and injector circuit open P0200. I'll be pulling it apart tomorrow.

I got the fuel pump voltage booster today and I'm hopin for the injectors tomorrow. The problem though is not the injector but the clip on the wiring harness. They suck. Even though they make an adapter I may still solder and heat shrink the new clips to the harness and use the style clips for the new injectors.

Well that just sucks, but isn't that kinda slow for the Dodge? I figured they might would be in a high 8 at least, but oh well. Get it running good and do it again!

next time you might as well just stop and do a burn out to try to get the water off the tires. im sure it will run well into the 9's with those wheels on it.

a burnout in the water pit is designed to be doable for any car, just do a short burnout, let go of brakes but stay on the gas so that you spin it in the dry for a little distance to dry the tires.

My first run with the 'mighty' 4.8 I didn't do a b-out and spun/let off/floored it again. Screwed up the et by about two seconds and the next time the guy said to do one because I screwed-up the traction compound at the line.

Even with the tires mostly dry it would do a easy b-out. And like the guy said,leave on the last yellow,not green. You won't red light.
