Arcy, I should commend you on going "green". Most of us heathens like to burn fossil fuels in order to go real fast.

Nitto NT05R's
Wow, what a difference tires make. I know I can't hang with you big (block) dog's and the turbo crowd, but man, these new tires, it's like cheating. Dropping a full second and getting into the 11's for the cost of 2 new tires, pretty inexpensive way to go. Now....can I get NOS installed by May 8th....
By the way, Arcy was launching very hard - he is working some bugs out of the system, but he has a few surprises in store for May 8th. I think he has some new parts under the hood!

Arcy was having trouble with a hose on the new turbo, so he wasn't really finishing the runs. He was pretty happy though before shutting it down halfway down the track and still beating cars. I think he wants to keep it a secret and work the bugs out of the system for the 8th. I wouldn't bet him based on last falls numbers, he has a few tricks up his sleeve.
He is one he!! of a nice guy too.

Did he say RC is a "nice guy?"  He doesn't know Arcy yet, does he?

The new turbo is making a lot more air in the system and kept blowing off the intercooler hose. I'll try to remap it and add more fuel.
That should do it. (hopefully)

So you guys in the 10 and 11 second club, don't have a thing to worry about

I was never worried. I hope you feel better getting a practice run in before everyone else. Did you unplug the fan to go all motor?

Besides i gotta work out the bugs in the new motor. 
Had no choice the turbo kept blowing out the intercooler hose.
No boost , all motor. 14.8 v6 power 1/2 throttle
