Well we took both cars back to the track Sunday, really good track weather. First pass car run fine but Brian let off before the traps, [email protected], only half clean pass of the day with no breaking up. This was the first car to run and for some reason the printers where not on so, no slip. That really pissed us off but if you can do it once you should be able to do it again.
Next few passes where in the 9.7-9.8s@133-136. Car was breaking up and popping at the top of the gears. Couldn't tune it out for anything; guess the blown head gasket was finally taking its tole.
At this point we are getting a little frustrated, cannot have a new best with no slip. Final pass and thank god it got down the track.
1.4589 60'
3.939 330'

I know the mph is stupid low but here is the kicker. Head gasket finally let go on the other side of the 1/8 mile blew the lower water hose off and the car started smoking badly. He shut the nitrous off and went the rest of the track missing on 1 cylinder. New HG on the car I am sure it will go much faster.
This is on a damaged 35R and not the t67 we use to have on the car. Hopefully there will be a 67mm back on in a couple of weeks. Car cut a best 1.43 60' and several other 1.4-1.5s coming out of the hole at 5-8 PSI of boost. Still on the 26" QTPs and an 80 shot, boosting roughly 36PSI.
On a side note my 5 speed car wouldn't hook for shit on 4 all season tires went a best of [email protected] before I ripped the teeth of of 4th gear.
Full slip
1.976 60'

Both cars run AFC/Maft/keydrivers chips for fuel management
