Nope as far as I know still running fine. Like I said I was not there so i dont know all the details. I am not sure of the boost he was running! I know for a fact that he beat his old 10.65!

i would have responded last night but the site was down for hours

i am a little disapointed but i really shouldn't be, got a new best but i was hopeing for some 9's. kyle will probably post up a video later but since i didn't get into the 9's he probably wont make it a big priority.

best run of the night was 10.24 at 135 with a 1.65 60'

the wait between runs was too long, we didn't get enough runs in to get the tuning done quickly enough to get it any quicker.

first run was great, ran a 100shot off the line up to about 7psi, then let it run up to 13psi for the rest of 1st. after the shift let i let it go up to about 17psi and pulled a 10.41 @ 133.9 with a 1.73 60'. not a bat ET and everything felt smooth.

we saw a little knock on that first run so started adding fuel. we wasted a run or two by adding fuel to the wrong part of the map. i went to bump the nitrous to a 125 off the line but i seem to have lost that jet so we went to 150. it seems to hold the 150 ok. i ended up with the tire presure at 25 front and 20 rear. i tried heating the rear set once but that was just too scary not knowing if the front was locked in all the way when i did hit it.

once we got the fuel in there that we needed we found a problem. i started adding a little boost and we ran into some shift problems. got the boost up to about 16psi down low and 18 or so up top. we were geting the launch dialed in better, got a best of 1.64 60' and it seemed like there was more in it if we applied the power corectly.

the shift problems came on as the boost went up. as we put more power to it the shift points were creeping up so i comanded the shift sooner. that didn't really seem to work. at lower boost levels we could get it to shift about when we wanted by asking for the shift eairly but by the end of the night with more boost i had the 1-2shift set at 5400 and it actualy hit the limiter at 6800. when it does shift it feels solid and the fluid looks and smells good. fluid level is good too.

soo, knocked of .3, got a new best, wasn't a 9 but it should be eventualy, just need to figure out a few things.

it was very heavy, had the hitch on there, both seats, roll bar, gate, full tank of gas. it has to be over 5000lb's

at least you got a baseline sounds like you got alot of tweaking to do, I think it definately has a 9sec pass. Im interested to hear what the problem with the tranny not shifting is.

congrats on the new best. i was certainly expecting a much better 60' time though, especially with the stickier and shorter tires.
