Re: Finally ran my first 9 second passes
Yep, if you would have entered FIP in Baytown, you could have probably won another $600 easily. If entered FWD, might have won that too, so an additional $1200. I'd go for FIS and FWD in Ennis. If you win again, try and make the Belle Rose, LA event at No Problem Raceway on March 9th. NPR hooks really well.

Re: Finally ran my first 9 second passes
awesome man. ill be following this it gives me good hopes for a 9.9 @ 150 this season with a similar setup.
whats the launch control set at and boost when leaving?
i was worried about the gears and weight but that shouldnt be an issue, good luck rest of the season.

Sharing boost control won't work for Your setup. Every car is different and my car makes big power on 10 pound a less boost as everyone else on the same turbo so my settings are different than theirs and what yours will be. You just have to play with it and figure out the car

Re: Finally ran my first 9 second passes
Thanks. Track wasn't working for us or really anybody today we didn't advance through FWD class I missed third gear but we took home another FIS class win. We were running 10.1's spinning all the way down the track. We had a great time dispute all the issues my self and everyone else in our crew had.

Re: Finally ran my first 9 second passes
Im in the middle of building a new block. Long story short the water jacket is cracked and leaking coolant into the oil drainback galley and spraying coolant out of the back of the block. Its cracked right where the headstud bottoms out. Something must have been down in the hole or a little to much moly on the threads and it took a little while but cracked. New block is in the works. Luckily we found it before motor got destroyed. We'll be back up and running in time for Ennis IFO race and try to keep the number one spot for overall points.

That's what I thought you are using. It happened to me a well using GE head studs. Studs dig into the hole when torque down and crack the block behind the oil dipstick. I never had to deal with this type of problem when I was using ARP. GE blamed it for bad and old casting of the block. They said I'm not the only 1 that had that problem using their studs. I told them I never had that problem for 18 years using ARP studs.
