Yeah finally decided to baseline the car in 90F weather but better late than never. The ETs will not be too good due to 1200 elevation and high humidity but it's the track I ran at last June on two damaged pistons at 12.5 ET/116 trap with street tires at same outside temps so I expect to do better than that. Problem is I'm running less boost this time on a lower compression motor so not sure how I would fare. I will go back on July 17th once I mod the car with 18-20psi and see what she does. Then on Oct 30th, I'm going to run it with direct port 200 shot nitrous.

Best of luck. I was there last week and the DA was around 4,000 ft due to the air temps.

Robert, so did you ever make it to the track? Post your times if you did.... don't worry if they're good or bad as these are only a baseline and maybe we can help you improve them

Sat morning I went to discount tire to get my drag wheels/tires mounted and to my dissapointment, the wheels won't clear my Brembos.
Instead I had them check the alignment and found out it was completely off. Vadim never did the alignment after installing the camber, caster and toe arms! The fronts were -.45 and +.68 while the rears were both toed outwards causing my Conti's inner tread to completely wear out after only a few thousand miles.
So instead of going to the track, I ended up getting an alignment for smokin deal of only $89. The car now steers completely straight even if I let my hands off the wheel for for 30 seconds while cruising at 40mph.
It was way too hot anyway! I'm bringing my car to Renntech/DynoComp for the tune with both modified pullies this month and should at Sac for the Wed night drags at least twice in June or July. It's cooler at night and Sac has better DA and trap speeds.

Anybody interested in a set of 16" light MB wheels to mount your MT's on? As long as you don't have oversized brakes. you should be OK. I got them from a fellow forum member for $500 I think but I'll let them go for $300 including shipping.
I'll post some pics when I get home.
