7.28@104.8 last night @ 15 psi on "24.5X6" slicks. 60' times are a tenth worse, but the car is hooking mid-track now.

Time to swap on the other 24.5X9's, and install the two stage boost controller to launch at 13 psi and switch to 20 for 110 mph traps and somewhere in the 6's. *** end still bobs up and down, needs more suspension work. I'm betting it'd crack a 9 in the 1/4, after fighting the chassis some more.

7.15@105.3 mph with 60' still stuck in the 1.8's. There's more suspension work left to do, but it's starting to get traction mid track.

6's soon.

6's are good for what, 10's in the quarter?

Given a FWD has more go on the back half of a 1/4 mile track this one may hit 9.9x if she can see high 6's in the 1/8th. The car's turning it's best times 15-16 psi... needs two stage boost and FTL - 13 psi out of the hole, and switch to 20 psi once traction issues are over.

Brian Hunt's hit 10.5's on street tires in heavier chassis making as much power. Goforth is probably just as good a driver.
