Finally went to a 1/4 mile track
Well I was invited to a private track rental (Nascar night) at Zmax dragway which is 20 min from my house. So of course I took the car out for some test passes. I knew the track wouldnt be very good from past experiences and it wasnt 
LOL.
First pass I put the same tune up in it that gets me 5.7@121+ 1/8 times and it immediately blew the tires off when boost came in off the trans brake then again after hitting boost again. Pedaled the car and ran 10.0@148.
Since the track was terrible it gave me the chance to play with the boost controller (Leash boost controller) and try to get a setting for a slick track. I ditched the trans brake and set my launch psi to 2psi and ramped it up to 12psi after 1 second into the run. It worked very well but still spun a little when boost came in, but it went a 9.2@150.
Kurt Busch was there testing a Haas Racing Copo Camaro and my dad politely asked him for a little grudge run and he agreed. We flip for lane choice and he picks left lane which was better lane of course so I hurry up and change boost setting one final time to a slower ramp rate at the same time frame of 1 second into the run. IT WORKED footbraked the car to a 5.9@120 and a 9.1@151 (he went 9.6 btw
). We shook hands and laughed about it afterwards so it was a good friendly race.
With that said I was hoping to get my 8 second pass and didnt...but I know the car will runs 8's for a fact as my best pass was still 2-3 tenths off from my typical 330' and 660' times.
I LOVE this car its been a blast so far and cant wait to get it on a WELL prepped track to see what it can really do. Especially since I'm not making any "big power" so I have to make my time up at the beginning of the track.
Videos are coming
Sorry for the long read.....

Congrats Shoaf85!
That car is gonna FLY on a good track with some boost in it.... With just your regular 60' alone it would have gone high 8.80s that day.
I can't wait to see it on 20 psi...

Yea I definitely gotta work on the vids. My hd camera died just after burnout and then the contour footage (car mounted) lost a ton of quality after editing it on PC. I'm a noob to that stuff lol
