Rnd 4 track championship yesterday .
Finally getting on top of transbrake , suspension and now the dominator
Runner up after 5 rounds of racing
Real good DA early and late , around 400-800 with 1800 in middle of day
Track wasnt there for me in eliminations , turned the tyres all 5 eliminators . Hit the tree hard ,0.068,0.014,0.022,0.002, just too hard in the final, -0.032
Ran 10.50s all day , .53/.54 all out mid to high on brakes
I think i have now maxed out the source heads , or close too , plus now need better valve cover breather/catch cans as oil blew out .
PB et with a 10.535 PB mph 127.14 , so thats something

It sounds like you may need to do a leak down and compression test now do to the potential back pressure in the engine now work scope
That MPH tells me you need some more hook on the starting line now whistling grin work

Cab ,
yes have to look harder .
Wish the track would step up , but wish upon a star .
MPH might be spiked by the spin , will see
Just ordered catch can etc

Congrats. Remember, if it was cheap and easy anyone could do it.
