The Chute may be coming next. Its has touched 150 mph on a couple of passes. Best ET was 9.005. But in better air with a little tail wind. It uses one XS 16 volt battery. Previously it had 2 Optima's. The single 16 volt works much better. We'll be out again Memorial weekend. Bigger jets, looser front shocks. Doug

Congrats on getting it out there and on he runs. *'s will be a snap now. It was certain hot ans sticky in the middle of the country this weekend. Was really nasty weather in St Louis for sure for us.

Doug what RPM do you shift at/cross the stripe?
I'd imagine you'll be well into 8.90s come fall weather so it's just a matter of time. Usually try 6900-7000. The shift light was acting up so there were some over or under. At 149 right about 7300. It's got a 7400 chip. and didn't sound like it tagged it. Doug

I'll say from personal experience lately that I found down leg boosters to make way more power if the main body's aren't on the big side to make up for the "choke" and in a single application a customer went from 10.77 to 10.40 with no other changes in Vegas......

Congrats. How was the track prep? I see they made some more improvements. I will be heading up there sometime before july. Track prep is generally good there. Track is a bit bumpy, but not bad. Frankly, it isn’t 131, but the new concrete walls and fresh staging lane pavement was definitely an upgrade Where exactly do you live, Dave?
