great man, glad to see you hitting the track and getting some good results.
also remember that i had a VERY shotty clutch when i was there and was deep into 5th. this was also almost two years ago, done in my driveway and tuned at the track. the only reason i am saying anything is cause you have pointed out comments directed at me
i still dont see why you guys are running low boost, i would like to see a high boost difference ...
good job but dont take from what we have accomplished down here. AJ is still faster
(stock block) hehehe

Why run high boost if you havent extracted at least 90% of your low boost? Doesnt make sense to me, I may be a decent drag racer but even I needed to take "baby steps" IMO. With high boost and my old slick set-up the wall could have possibly been in the way of my learning curve

Alberto...nice job..your ride and mine look nearly identical...I was at San Antonio raceway just last weekend and unfortunately had to give the car a ride home on the flatbed wrecker..lol the clutch disc was FUSED to the flywheel ( SPEC stage III)
I only ran a 13.04 @ 111 because I roasted the tires(street nitto NT555) in 1st,2nd and third on high boost. I also did that in 3rd gear pedaling at the end of the track becasue it wouldnt go into 4th LMAO! it pulling like a MONSTER in third so I really believe with the right tires I can get into the high 10's low elevens as well...
So after callling shariff I now have a carbonetics three disc that the brown truck dropped off this morning...CAN YOU SAY OUCH TO OVERNIGHT SAT DELIVERY!!!!(45 pounds)
So I'll get the car back together and am going to the DHRA Finals in Baytown next month and hope to make a few passes...we'll see then..

Great Job from start to finish....

The 29" slicks are just nasty and with the skinnies up front he could stay in it. I mean, he was cutting 1.5's and when you do that you'll see 10.8's even with your squirrelly set-up... Imagine if you could stay in it!
I wish you would have tried the stockers because I'm running in an event down here next week and think I might have your same issues. My set-up is solid for 400lbs. of trq. but I'll be running around 480lbs. this time out. I'll be spraying on top of a turbonetics kit so if it does get squirrelly, I'll just run boosted and see what 10lbs. of boost can do w/ full interior and DR's!
