    It's Back (I hope)

    Went to the Friday tnT, made a pile of passes, car was running 21 PSI, ran a bunch of 12.70's, best was a 12.69. Car is finally launching pretty good ;) This was all at 21 psi versus the 25 I was running before all the turbo problems. This turbo is basically the same as what was on there except a clipped turbine wheel.

    Went racing Saturday, air was pretty good, but we only ran 1/8th mile. Car went a 7.86 at 86.57 with a 1.71 60'. This equals my best 1/8th mile time with less boost (still 21 psi). Other passes were in that same leuge (7.87, 7.88, etc). Went a few rounds until I pulled it out of 1st gear on the line.

    Anyway, I'm happy its running decent again.

    Congrats on getting back to track Bob. Will you try the higher boost again or do you think that was part of the trouble?
