It was at the track sat. night. Made three easy hits and got some data to start tweaking the tuneup. I was full of butterfly's till after the 2nd hit. Now all the work is paying off.
It's just a home built car from a junkyard.

440 with a big single and a Lenco on 14/32's.
It's not built for a class. It's built to have fun. It's one of my dream cars. It's going to be a test and tune toy, I have as much fun those nights as I do winning races.

KYhemi dart, is your car the black one that runs 5.50's? If so we have talked at the Valley a few times.

First few outings are going to be slow lol
Did get some good data and it drove and stop'd good. Also made some big boost numbers. And everything seems to work right. I will run it hard soon. I just need to get some seat time to build a routine and get a feel for all the things I'm not use too.
This is my first turbo car, It has a few things I need get comfortable with before I lean on it.
It was real rich on the break and didn't lite the turbo till about 500 foot but when it hit,it was instant.

once that thing builds boost, it gets going!

Good luck with getting it dialed in...looking forward to some more results
