ok, new plan, never got the race fuel out so i am not trying that. just not enough time in the day.

i will be turning it up to about where i had it last weekend end then playing with the meth and timing. maybe a small shot at the end of the day.

heck if i know. i can see my IAT's drop and thats about all i know about it right now.

with my turbo being prety much out of breath it seems like turning it down a hair so it isn't working so hard and geting some power from other places might be the way to go. might run it at 14 psi instead of 16psi then add in a few deg of timing see how that goes. then maybe a 50shot..... or more

i am not really going for broke today. my 60's need some help and i dont think i will be pushing any really good new times till i get those down.

i am more excited about the dyno right now. new hot parts, meth, a little spray. it has the potential for some prety big numbers.

well. decent ET but i am not improveing as much as i would like too.

first thing the meth doesn't seem to do much with the race fuel. i ran with and without and at diferent flow levels and didn't gain any power and actualy saw more KR with it at very low flow levels. the IAT's did drop a ton but thats about all i got out of it. i was hotlaping the truck at the track and it did seem to keep it consistant.

it was prety warm, about 75deg. i turned the boost up to about 15psi and ended up adding in a 75shot from about 40mph up. my 60' was decent at 1.73

10.95 at 124.86

like i said, not really gaining. i might be fighting the weather since it is warming up around here prety fast. i ran one run at 125.08 wich is a new best mph for me. i need to get my exhaust presure gauge hooked back up. i am just guesing here but i think the exhaust side of the turbo might be holding me back now.

i was hiting it real hard out of the hole and it just wasn't making as much power as last week. 30deg warmer temps really seem to make a diference. i ended up cranking the turbo up most of the way out of the hole before i ran into traction problems.

my initial goal for the year was consistant 10's. i ran in the 10's both trips to the track this year so i am doing ok with that.

the dyno will tell a lot tomorrow.
