Well after fighting some issues this summer with the car managing mostly low 11 second passes, I finally was able to click off some 10 second passes today.
Headed to Thompson Raceway Park in Ohio today for the first runs after making the switch to SD.
First pass of the day:
was missing in forth gear
60ft - 1.505
330 - 4.542
1/8 - 7.000
mph - 100.14
1000 - 9.1253
1/4 - 10.925
mph - 120.74
2nd pass of the day:
Fixed the misfire issue but bogged badly on the launch
60ft - 1.643
330 - 4.674
1/8 - 7.094
mph - 98.96
1000 - 9.186
1/4 - 10.94
mph - 130.22
Final pass:
Finally got the 60ft I was looking for although it felt a bit sluggish top of 4th
60ft - 1.434
330 - 4.408
1/8 - 6.793
mph - 100.37
1000 - 8.880
1/4 - 10.628
mph - 124.79
The good thing is I still believe there is plenty more left in the car for next year, hopefully basement 10s. This is all on boost alone with a standard MHI evoIII 16g.
Big props to Curt Brown for his help with the car and the work on my cylinder head, Buschur Racing for there bad ass ####ing intercooler and Dan's solid bushwacker trans, Wayno (SSLaser) for making me stick with the pee shooter! and Nate at TPG for all his help along the way!

I love the license plate too.
Nice selection of parts with nice results.
