Well today was interesting to say the least. Car seems to want to fight me every chance it gets. So on with what happened...

First pass of the day I thought I had the nitrous on to spool the car so I didn't really make a huge amount of boost on the line 2 step only at 7k, well the ground to the relay was off from me working on it earlier and needless to say it did not spray. Boost around 34-35psi I rolled through the beams and started the timers while I was still sitting there, then to top it all off was shifting way too low for no nitrous to respool.

1.988 60'
5.37 330'

Car needed more timing for a all boost run was also fairly rich.

Next pass I decide to use the antilag incase my nitrous problem is not fixed, car bogs for a second then picks up and goes. Though again I needed to shift it higher, but this time the nitrous was on for respool. 37-38 PSI running pig rich in spots and lean at the top of the gear. Car wanted to lay down a bit.

Well its starting to get there, go to check the log and SHIT laptop idled out.

Decide to make one last pass with a little more timing, well the antilag problem I have been having acts up. Set antilag at 5k 2 step 6k car won't go over 5500 and doesn't build a whole lot of boost. Car bogs, I then decide to powersift 3rd to make up for it, bad move. I got a little over excited and miss the sift and broke one of the stupid aluminium shift forks that I should never have left in the trans.

Oh well I have started to work out a few of the bugs. Two things pissed me off today, 1 the logger shutting off on the second pass. Worse that that on the first run going through the traps my drivers outside lower door molding flew off and got screwed, so now I have to buy a new one. Think I will fix the trans and go tune it on the dyno, up the boost timing and fix the airfuel befor I go back.
 
Nice, I'll be working on 1.5 '60's this year, could you give a run down on suspension and overall setup on the car? 9's are right around the corner for you.
 
Suspension is ground controls with AGXs, limiting straps on the front. Running QTPs, best 60 in the car so far has been a 1.48 on a aborted pass. Still working out some bugs with the antilag.
