Good post!

Nice, I thought it wasn't safe to run drag ragdials on the rears with street tires up front. Or is it slicks...?

Incorrect. You are definitely thinking of slicks... and not all slicks. Bias ply slicks are what are unsafe to run with street tires on the front.

Congrats dude! No cage?

Congrats man! 10's for sure next time. Are you doing boost by gear on the hondata?

No cage and I will never put one in. For our track I think you need to go 10.9 before they require a cage.

Yes I will post a log later today.

spectacle- You dont even have a roll bar in the car? if you dont, I cant believe it because up here if you run 13.50 on the 1/4 they want you to have a rollbar in the car.

Guess we're lucky down here.

Here's the log from the 11.1 @ 134 pass which was my fastest and cleanest. The log from the run in the video is UGLY lol


There is a lot of room for improvement. I placed some comments at the top. Here is a walkthrough of log:

- At the beginning of the log I am on the 2 step. 7psi, 6500 rpm.
- Where you see the comment of "bogged" is where I caught traction after coming out of the hole and is probably what cost me a 10 sec pass. It dropped from 5900 rpm down to 5300. 12 psi at the end of 1st gear
- Some decent spin shifting into 2nd
- 3rd gear you can see where boost starts falling off up top. By redline I was down to 23 psi
- 4th gear the boost taper gets worse and falls to as low as 22 psi in the valley of the boost curve
- Riding the limiter through the traps, but only very briefly. Perfect gearing. Limiter is at 9100, I'll probably go up to 9200 next time

To fix the boost drop we're going to put a bigger spring in the gate. EMAP is pushing the gate open prematurely and I'm losing boost up top and some spool time in the midrange. I'm currently running a 7.5 psi spring, upgrading to a 14 psi. Another 300-400 rpm higher on the launch, some more boost in 1st and 2nd, and it should go 10's next time out.

Here in fl we bend the rules a little at the track.
