Default Took my Hemi to an 1/8 mi last night.

We took my Paxton supercharged 1500 Dodge 4x4 Rumble Bee to the track last night for TnT. The truck was tuned for 12lbs of boost, but I changed out belts before we went racing. Wrong thing to do. The new belt slipped and we could only get 7lbs of boost out of it. Trying to adjust the tune between rounds we came up with a best of:

60' 1.69
330 5.00
ET 7.81
MPH 89.46

Thanks. This was the first time out this year. Went to a local 1/8 for a little tnt before heading out to the 1/4 mi tracks. It was Street Class night so the track wasn't prepped very well. I was still spinning during the launch so once I get to a good sticky track, I expect the 60' time to drop a bit more.

With last years 12.65 run and 11 lbs of boost:

60' 1.85 (pos converter)
330 5.19
1/8 8.02
MPH 85.87
1/4 12.65
MPH 105.22

Once I get the boost back, I'll be knockin on the 11's door.

Ran the truck again yesterday after installing the 65# injectors. The truck is running fat with 11.2 a/f's. I'm looking at getting some 61# injectors and trying it again.

New times

60 1.64
330 4.87
MGH 89.35
ET 7.69

No belt slip this time. I put as tight of a belt as 2 guy's could squeeze on. I'm gonna try some 60# injectors next time out and see what happens.
