Sorry, the data connections are what they are.., we were at gateway last night and got three runs made. First was with a very mild set up to 330 ft, second was with some boost at the launch and to 660 ft, and the third was a full pass but still with mild settings. So far, so good;8.22/168 mph. The converter feels a little soft and that may or may not be a problem as far as the ET goes. We drove the car to track, and also back, got some 80 miles street driving experience. Everything seemed to work. Today some checking and maybe tomorrow we'll go to Cordova and perhaps test there on saturday. Don't have our race fuel yet and going to change to Roayl Purple oil everywhere before the race.

I got to see your last pass and Gateway, from under the tower so couldn't see much. But I'll be there watching at Gateway during drag week. Anyone going to Drag Week bringing extra green bearings for an 8 and 3/4? We ordered some a while back but they never showed up... I would like to have a spare with me or have access to one... thanks! I believe I have one extra and I will be at Gateway. Text 636-485 seven 33 five if you are unable to locate one so I don't forget to find and bring it.

After 80 miles to and from the track, everything checked ok, changed the fluids to Royal Purple stuff and that's all. Now still a little EFI tuning so that it doesn't backfire when you press the gas pedal, and then packing things in to van & trailer and start to move towards Cordova. There is a race tomorrow that we are trying to attend.

pretty sweet when you ship it internationally, assemble some new pieces, shake it down and go 8.20's. So far looking like a great weather week in Chicago, hopefully Irma doesn't change that. It's a shame I've got my Charger out here and not my Fury, I could have gotten a picture of it next to it's much bigger brother!

End of the line? Run a 660 ft run, ET 8.5 at 125. Next was a full run, 8.0 at 170. Then to the next one we raised boost some, but it run worse from the very beginning.An exhaust valve broke and got hit in to the exhaust port. We'll see in the morning what we can do about it.

Dang dude, I'm sorry for those results. I'm sure you guys will get it fixed Any ideas yet why that valve broke

One of the Facebook live videos I saw it sounded like it had some pretty bad tire shake, could that have contributed to the valve? I know it can do weird things.

I saw a picture of it in the tech line with a head off, hopefully they get it fixed up.
