Did you have to pedal it a little bit after the launch? It looked like the car got a little loose and resettled.
What did you trap on that run, it looked like 161 ???
Did you notice any water in the overflow, or are the new gaskets hanging in there?
NICE MAN!!!! thats sweeet! I wish I could have made it out there to see your runs, I live right by the track. I was busy all day though

Thanks for all the support guys. I credit this forum for helping me get to where I am at.
So we were a bit too fast for the show, they picked a 10 second class. And 64 at that. 4 wide is crazy to watch!
Todays first pass was junk, it was my fault, second pass was another low 9.
I will try to answer as many questions as I can....
I still have not weighed the car yet, sometime soon. I will guess between 3400-3500
Fuel was E85, the best pass was 17 psi of boost.
We did have some issues, last night at the 8 second pass, the car was real lazy when I shifted into third, and rpm's wouldn't climb past 5900. And it overheated by the time I made it back to the pits. Today it pushed some water again, and something was not 100% with the motor. The data logs didn't really show anything out of whack, but I will pull the headers and look at the plugs and perform a leak down and compression test first.
The gaskets are not the issue, the LS9's work great.
I pulled the chute today for the first time, that was pretty cool!
Here is a real crappy video, but you can see Rich.

Hey unit how is that old mustang running? I see you updated your sig to say your are anemic. A 2.2 liter is old school. Are you still trying to pay of the bills of upgrading your stock cobra charger?

rear suspension setup? car left VERY nice, anti sway?
oh and what gears are you running? I'm looking to run a really nice 3.00 gear and 28.00 tires , great rpm on the street, and can leave on alot of boost, what rpm are you crossing the traps at?

If you pushed water, you lifted the head's.This is why you overheated on the way back. You will need to change out your head gasket's.No since on doing a compression check until you do that.

The whole suspension is Midwest chassis drag setup, 9", LCA's, PHB, DR Anti Roll, long torque arm etc. Afco coilovers in the front Afco shocks, stock springs in the rear. 3.00 gear 28" tires, crossing the traps around 6200. The most boost I have lecft at was 8 psi with the 1.33 60ft. This track probably could have held more, it will be something to play with.

Right now the exhaust is a 5" DP that dumps just past the passenger fender, it is fairly quiet.
