Smile thanks pacemkr86...

big thanks to phil for long distance help from the track last night. i haven't raced in quite a few years...and never really knew alot about what i was doing to begin with. 60' sucked so i called phil (yep, took his # to the track). backed off the boost (running bf goodrich drag radials), launched at 2 psi and it grabbed hard and scooted. also upped the boost a few psi to 24-25 (no knock retard on the powerlogger). last run i ended up with an 11.97 at 115. beat an 03 vette! the wife said i had a big grin when i got home. dang...now i wanna go faster!

Thanks! Fastest I'd ever gone before was 12.70 and the car was mostly stock. Hoping more tuning will bring it down further...
