Re: 9.86 @ 150+mph D16 on the Vitaras!
Thanks everyone!!! 
That's the plan. We fixed quite a few things that weren't right at IFO with the car, and yes I've been turning it up a bit each pass. We saw 43psi in 4th and 9700rpm so far on the 9.86 pass. Probably would lay down right around 700whp on the dyno on this boost level I'm guessing.
And there is more left in it. I'm still slowly working on the launch settings and sixty foot, had it down to a 1.60 last pass of the night and still had much improvement to be made. These runs were made riding the rev limiter all through 1st gear actually.
On the 9.96 pass I totally pedaled the car on/off/on in 1st gear and normal lift shifted it the whole run.
On the 9.86 run I lift shifted the 1-2, FTS'd the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts.
The next pass after the 9.86 run, I turned the boost up a bit. I then tried to FTS the 1-2 shift and completely missed 2nd gear. Lost boost and had to respool all through 2nd gear, and it still trapped 150.60mph!
I was expecting a 9.7 @ 153+mph, but didn't get another clean pass. The potential is definitely there to go faster!
We really want to come to the E-town shootout, but it would be extremely tough financially. Thats a major haul for us, we'll just have to wait and see!
