So this past weekend there was a track rental scheduled at Maryland International Raceway for Saturday April 2nd but was canceled due to rain. I had already prepared to race so I went to MIR on Sunday April 3rd for a test and tune day. First couple of passes I was having really bad traction issues spinning and wheel hopping. I have the M&H 26x12x16 slicks on Bogart D10s. This slick feels much harder than the ET drags I felt on some other cars that day. According to the date code it was made in 2012. It surprised me that a bias ply slick wheel hopped. Did it almost every pass. Track prep was good and I did a good burnout on the slicks. Made 6 passes that day and my last run I managed a 1.49 60'. Earlier passes the 60 fts were all over the place, one being a 2.3x which I aborted lol. My last pass was also my best pass. Definitely a challenging day trying to get the car to hook up. I'm sure with a better 60' and 330', I can get the ET down to the 9.4x range. Image of car and timeslip below along with a video. The video was focused more on the right lane to the truck. Wish I had someone recording for me but it's all I have right now.
So a few weeks ago I finished installing a 102mm plate kit from Nitrous Outlet. Last week I finally got time to finally get it on the dyno and start the tuning session. Would like to thank the staff at Nitrous Oulet for all your help, especially Lance Reeves for answering all of my questions and concerns. Great customer service! Would also like to thank Ed Hutchings of Hi-tech tuning for always providing my car with a badass tune! Ed is the man when it comes tuning LS motors!

Correct, this is pretty much my mods list with a couple of changes. I now run the Monster LT1-S triple disk clutch and my MSD window switch was acting up so I installed the Lingenfelter RPM-003 window switch.
Nice NA power as well. This combo has been making crazy numbers for a long time. And your tuner is one of the best in the market for sure
Thanks,
Carlos
Thanks Carlos! Your Black Widow-R cam is still working well in my car. It's definitely making really good power as you can see. Ed Hutchings has always done a great job tuning my car. Gonna get some 15s on some 26x10x15S ET drags before I go back to the track again. That should help get my 60' down to low 1.3xs and shave off a few more tenths.
