I dont have anything close to your build but funny thing when I went to the track first time I wanted to hit 10s. Second pass 10.99. I got what I wanted and parked it. I said to myself I am driving this car home tonight, got my 10 sec slip I'm done lol.

Ha exactly its easy to get caught up in man I want to win but being able to leave an event with a running car is also nice. Congrats on the 10 second pass.

It wasn’t my 210 I was aiming for but car ran great and was battling a decent headwind. Got a 203.1 mph good enough for king of the hill and probably even cooler was fastest matching times I got two identical 202.6 speeds out of the 4 runs.

Thank you. Correct it hooked better than expected played a lot with tire pressure to help it hook up. It also helps that the surface is pretty gritty.

I lifted and torched a head during the SORC mile. How did you finish up? Nice to meet you by the way.

Oh man sorry to hear that I had heard over the radio they thought they saw fire coming from your exhaust. I ended up running my fastest on my first pass of 198.5 basically granny shifting it to get a feel for the road. Sadly on passes 2 and 3 my IAT's were high enough it was pulling so much timing I could never break 200mph. I squeaked by winning King of the Hill by .3mph but I will take it. Have some more work to do to get the temps down over the winter to prepare for next year. Likewise good to meet you I was hoping one of us would break 200 at SORC maybe next year.

Thats almost identical to my IATs during my 2 runs, kinda weird two completely different setups but same basic outcome.

That is weird. I am running a C02 intercooler sprayer as well so who only knows how high they would be without it. I clearly need to come up with a better alternative or modify my spray bar to be more effective.

I am running a DEI CRY02 INTERCOOLER SPRAYER KIT: Correct I am all sealed up where the plate goes my builder made this scoop to gobble up more air underneath. However I am just wondering if I need to do something different.

I was also wondering if it would make sense to run this in conjunction with my current setup?
