Test,test, and test some more,,I realize that don't come easy for you but that's what it's going to take,,your combo just need some tweeking, still impressive to me.

I know I need more seat time and I`ll make it happen. I have a couple of interviews/auditions in Vegas next week for so we`ll see after that. It`s my time and I promise a 9.59 WILL happen I just need to focus on me for a change instead of the heap. Peace............

Why did I know you were going to read that wrong.
#1 You are making MORE horsepower
#2 You PROBABLY also moved were the horsepower peaks.
#3 Sometimes something as simple as moving the cam centerline a few degrees helps ESPECIALLY in traction limited applications.
#4 You took weight out of the car MAYBE effecting hook.
#5 As said above. TEST TEST TEST TEST.
Congratulations on how great it runs. I'm done.

Sorry if you think I read into that wrong and that`s not my intention and I respect your opinions. You are right.........I`ve made many changes and am making more power so I need to harness it and make it hook then the 9.50 will follow. I agree about the cam or even retarding the timing to help it hook but that MIGHT be a crutch so I`ll get tires then go from there. Thankxxxx...........
