We've been doing some testing the last few weeks on "Turbo Blue".
Trying to get the boost dialed in, had a few kinks and broke the boost gauge.
Either it made a lot or we had a bad gauge.... :shock:
Went from 12 PSI to broke with one turn of the boost controller.
Here is a low gear test shot.

Yeah we were at Liberty when we broke the shock towers off with the wheelie.

Went to Brookville Saturday night. ran a 4.34 in low gear 1st pass.
Shift cable popped out of its holder so it didn't shift.

2nd pass the MSD digital 6AL box took a crap so we were done........ :evil:

The way you ripped your foot off that accelerator pedal the pucker factor had to be huge :shock: When you get that dialed in it looks like its going to be stupid fast....
