wild pass in the fairmont
last pass was after someone oiled down the track and they cleaned up it was like 42deg and the track was cold and i juiced a tiny bit off the line and cut a 1.8 so nitrous is working good, just gotta try some things, the car is a hand full to say the least.
i turn off the spray in 2nd gear and keep it pinned and it was spinning and wandering bad, so i chopped it and straitened it out and then said fuck it and shifted 3rd and planted it, since i figured the track was shot and i wouldnt make anymore passes, it went 1.8 60ft, went only 103 in the 8th because of traction, then i went 11.03 @ 134mph out the back lol car is a rocket. just need some more work and passes.

methanol installed, and boost controller for the 4.8 notch
installed a methanol kit today and the ebay boost controller with great sucess, the boost controller definately brought down the spool time by being a ball and spring and blocking reference for a few psi, and the meth kit held the car together when we learned we were out of fuel pump at 20+lbs of boost... LOL
it has a walboro 340lph stealth in the tank and well i can guarantee we are over 600rwhp because its smoking these 28x10.5 slicks from a 70 roll like they are shit.
15* 21lbs of boost, woot woot.
adding the 044 from the ventura tomorrow to see if we can remedy that then buying another 044 for the ventura... hopefully racing this 4.8 beast sunday.
