How'd it go? I ran 11.61@ 120.9mph last night, otherwise consistent 11.70's with one 11.99 as I tried to launch harder but pushed through the brakes. Weather was "ok" about 68F but 90% humidity. My 2.82 gear swap didn't seem to do much for my times, but it does make the car nicer to drive on the street.

Arrived yesterday at 2pm and jumped straight into staging lanes. So after getting close to the front I started to pack ice in my trunk tank and noticed I had zero water flow.

Last fall my front meziere pump took a dump so I was just running on the meziere trunk tank pump. The flow was descent so I decided not to put in a new front just yet. I guess over the winter with the car sitting that one capped out too.

I just loaded the car and left. Pretty pissed off but hey, just part of the game lol.

Check out the Varimax pump, it's brushless and should last a long time.
