TRACK OPENED Yesterday...first two runs full exh, air cleaner, 26" slicks.... 12.39, 12.37.. @ 107.91 and 107.97... then later in the day As I was having trouble with the 1-2 shift.. too much lag wasn't shifting right out of 1st into 2nd.. anyway pulled air cleaner off and exh has been uncapped for a few runs and car sat for maybe 1 hr or so.. warmed it up to temp... and car goes 12.08@109.44... with a astonishing 1.57 60 ft!!!!! Was Also having some issues with fuel pressure.. not sure if it was regulator or a partially plugged filter, but it wouldn't react to any adjustments i gave it.. Maybe spring is getting weak in there?. anyway last run.. 1-2 shift slides in cause of where i shifted it.. and car still goes 12.26 @110.01!!!.. with fuel pressure at only 4.5 psi!!!....
