Default New Bests
More new bests, air was very good!! 1" Tapered spacer added since last time out. If I can get it to leave harder, 9's are there! Try tomorrow and see, going to try 2800 and see if it likes it.

Good job Darby! 10.0 on pump gas @ #3600 lbs gets my attention. What intake are you running? I made a few changes to my car that lightened it, but I only tied my best ever ET so far. I don't doubt you'll run nines, you alway seem to make your car faster. Congrats!

update for the day... DA was about 11-1200 today

Had my best 60 ft this morning trying 2800, went 1.414, but only a [email protected]
then i dropped it back to 2500 to see difference and it went [email protected] with a 1.422 60 ft, Ive got aissue with my alternator tho, my battery was only 43% on my smart charger, 12.12 volts when i got home tonight, so i know that was part of the problem today besides the air too, cause we had a nice tailwind and shouldve ran better in morning, but i dont think i was getting the fuel supply i needed with such a low battery, with only pump running im 14.2 at alt, but 13.8 at battery, but turn fans on now im only 13.5 at alt and 12.77 at battery, Ive got 4 gauge welding cable so i know its not that its just a stock 94 amp oreilly alternator... all in all im very pleased with the weekend, and i know i will find my 9 come fall!

Thanks! Calvert 90/10 up front and santhuff 200 rate springs
Air pressure yesterday was 17 psi on my gauge, on a very good digital it was 16.2, I think the car hooked better closer to 15.5-16 on my gauge tho..
