bad day for the corolla,Updated with PICS:caution broken parts!!
 

Well, I took the corolla and did not have the best day!! I put a new boost controller on it(and did it wrong)and didn't boost much for run #1. I ran a 12.9 :1
Fixed the boost controller issue and made 21lbs of boost BUT went 1st,2nd,3rd,4th,and then 3rd. I was beating the other car by over 2 tenth at the 1000' but lost by 2 tenth at the 1/4 and did like 86MPH :1 :1
Both runs my 60' time was 1.7ish so i decided to drop the slicks down to 8psi,they were all wrinkle walled up, too the line i went. Heated them up good,5,200RPM,let out the clutch and BANG ???
Looked at it today and i sheared off the output shaft of the trany. Pics to follow.

When i raced on the 225/50/15 g/force's I qas going through the traps in 5th gear at 4,300 rpm. When I ran the 27/8.5/15 slicks I almost made the 1/4 mile in 4th gear! I was about 60 or 70 feet from the traps. I could not believe the change in the gear ratio with the bigger tires. I put in a new trany and put 24/8/15 slicks on and hope to try them on sunday.

Be waiting for results :y I was suppose to go tomorrow, but got the flu or some ---- and I am not leaving the couch.

Re: bad day for the corolla,Updated with PICS:caution broken parts!!
 

Hope to have good results, sorry you have the creeping crud. Not sure why the output shaft broke but I think it was from some contact between the 27' slicks and the inner fenderwells. I launched it real hard the last run and the suspension was compressed pretty hard.Also i wonder if i could have stressed the shaft with the missed shift? I am hoping to try some more boost tomorrow!
