Went to the track Friday and Saturday. Friday was test and tune and I blew the radiator cap up. Got things figured out Saturday morning with the help of a drag bike buddy. Entered the "box" class. My passes were: 5.99, 5.95 and the a 5.83. I ended up red lighting and ran a 5.78 so I would have broke out. Gratuitous pic of the front end coming up Attached File |

Speaking of cutting good lights, the very first time I went down a dragstrip (National Trail Raceway in Ohio) I cut a .700 light. My buddy who had been racing for a few years asked me "when did you leave?" I said on the green. He said "LOL you are waaay late, leave on the last yellow" (.500 sportsman's lights) He explained to me why that is, my reaction time + car reaction time etc.. Next pass I left when I saw the last yellow light up. Cut a .510! Next pass I cut a .501!! Next pass...redlight. I did learn when to leave though and was cutting good lights from then on.  This was in 1984. Damn I'm old.

It's doing much better than it was but like VRM said it needs a new tune with the spool. |

Not talking about the whine. At about 1:08 sounds like the wastegate is fully open, which would mean you are at whatever your peak boost is. It starts opening a little earlier. Are you running just spring pressure? |

| Plus you have the Holley now, wire up an input and setup a 2step. Build boost while foot braking it. I have the 2step setup in my car kind of soft and can build 5-7lbs in neutral. Something is better than nothing. |

The dragster is in the garage right now so it's hard to climb around in the S10 while it's in the trailer. |

One tailored for your application will probably help your times quite a bit. FWIW my 01 Z28 with just a catback and a ported throttle body ran 8.6 @ 85 when it was like 100 degrees out. Now I have a FTI triple disk billet 4000 hard hit and my buddy has a billet 4000 Circle D in his LQ9 swapped 89 Formula with a TH400. |
