I have a video of it on my phone. Will post it in a bit. The car was looking good.

Thanks everyone. Overall it was a shitty event for us. We had issues after the first run with excessive blowby that overfilled our catch can. It must have got some on the brakes cause the car wasn't holding on the stall after that. Because of that we red lit in the first round. And it did it again when we tried to turn it up after that just to see what we could run in test and tune. So yes we ran a solid 8 for a new personal best but just have to get these few more little bugs worked out.

This is just the start of this season so expect to see much more from us! I'll get our video up once we get back to Oklahoma. Thanks again for all the props everyone!

Congrats on the new time. It sucks about the motor situation. What do you thing caused the issue as it seemed fine before you turned up the boost?

 

[okcpopeman]

It was actually having a little excessive blowby since the video with the 9.2 pass but we figured then it was just cause of the new motor not being broke in all the way. But since then it's actually gotten worse so now we are thinking maybe the head gasket is to blame. We were running a SCE Titan copper gasket for the first time and are kinda iffy on it. It's not a huge issue though and we should have it fixed this week even if the short block has to be reringed.

How much boost were you running on the 8 second pass?

 

[okcpopeman]

~35psi on the 8.7 pass. Just shows how good the track/weather was vs our home track where we had the same mph but way less et.

 

[Doubleot]

Awesome! Congrats!

 

[TurboDSM90]

In for 8 second pass vid.

Darren is still debating on this. There is not usually a steady turn out for his class in this city.
