Had a best 60’ of 1.39 seconds, pretty happy about that. Was fighting air intake temps and rear shock travel, so those will need to be sorted ASAP.

Not bad for 22 psi and a hurt transmission 👌🏻💪🏻🙌🏻

One of things I’ve been fighting is air intake temperatures. As a safety, the tune pulls timing after 150*F. Well this should help…

Minor issue with the bumper mounts, time to engineer a solution!

Built mounts with spacing for the IC pipe to pass thru:

Should be a big improvement:

That thing was night and day for me. I had my ‘safety meth’ set to turn on at 162 last month. Made it to 160 for the only run I ran over 30psi. At 25 I was down in the 140’s. My old Chinesium unit would hit 180+ with the meth haha.

A little heavier, eh? ;)
