She's doing work!

I wanna get kicked out!
The worst part is it’s just getting started. AND I didn’t want to kicked out in the 1st run for the love of God.

I asked the principal (I got sent to the principal’s office after this run) if I could I could just run the 1/8th. He said if I went under 7.50 in the 1/8th that I’d be not allowed in the lanes again. So the next run I lifted at the 330ish mark and ran 7.51 lol - total luck.

If I had your blown stick setup I wouldn’t swap it. It’s about softening the hit and letting the boost do it past the launch. I’ll bet that if you would’ve hooked when your rear broke that you’d a been in the 1.4 60’ or better range. That’s HARD on parts - even good ones.

So this seals the deal for making the car legal. They said if I’d a had belts and a secured seat that I wouldn’t have been warned.

I seem to be losing boost on WG also - was down another .5 psi from where it was previously. I’m assuming a leak somewhere - there are about 10-15 candidates on truck intake and budget plumbing. I’m putting on a Gen5/ Trailblazer intake with rails anyway- word is the intake is worth another 20hp.

Thanks to all for the kind words - Jim

Secured seat? Like connected to the cage?
Yes - back of the seat attached to where the belts are attached. I believe the idea is that the seat can’t move independently of the belts.
