But these are just theorys, it's only .2 et and 4 mph faster than he was on his way smaller investment. So I think maybe he was smarter
I agree, but I would also say that the reason your trap speed is so high is because the use of a piggyback computer so you can fine tune what the cars needs as far as air/fuel ratio. That's huge with any forced induction car right? And 4mph is a lot in 1/4 mile racing! I would also like to know how we can get our hands on that setup.

Nice! Good job on squeezing out 500hp out of your engine... More horsepower!

Re: first to 500 hp
I spent some time on the dyno today dialing in the car for nitrous( for this sunday if the weather permits) and found out the car does not like it's timing pulled! It is capable of pulling it on it's on and I made more power with stock timing and a 75 shot than I did with a bigger shot and timing pulled, I made about 450hp + 475 tq to the wheels with stock timing and a little more lt fuel trim. We shall see this sunday, but they are calling for 30% showers in my area. But I am going to go and hope the weather is o.k., If so way deep into the 11's we come!

NHRA membership is like $65 bucks, and you get to at least get some qualifying runs on the best preparation your track will get. Check into the IHRA, I don't think its much different. You would run in Stock or Super Stock class. Heck it really don't matter, just the chance to run on a professionally race prepped track is worth the $150 entrance fee. I guarantee you won't find a better prepared track than at one of these big events.

Hopefully this weekend if this stinking rain will move on, + I have to go to a new track that I've never been to "Capitol Raceway", My normal track" MIR" is hosting the IHRA Pro Am Nationals and you have to have a membership to run during that event, which I don't have.

Re: first to 500 hp
Went to a test and tune tonight at capitol raceway in crofton md., what a doo doo track + no nitrous again, something went wrong with tune and everytime I sprayed, the engine started shutting down cylinders? I've gotta get it figured out it worked great on the dyno! Anyway made three decent motor passes, best 12.10 @116. ( with 2 degrees timing pulled and 7%fuel added) 80 degrees outside, 150ft above sea level.

Re: first to 500 hp
Ran a 11.98 @ 103 mph tonight at Maryland International Raceway, I had to shut her down at about the 900 ft mark, too much boost blew my spark out. Car was popping and carrying on, I am going to change my spark plugs and gap to around .025 + go 2 steps colder and try it again next weekend! The car next to me was a 68ish big block nova and I was all over him before my spark blew out. He ran 10.80 @ 125.
