Went to the track today, weather was perfect and the track was hooking! First pass was an 8.7, blew the tires off in 2nd, but was a good data pass. Then I ran the 8.38 on my second run, and then broke a drivers side axle on the next pass. After Conte and I changed the axle, I went up and ran an 8.41 with some tire spin in 2nd, the track was starting to go away at this point. After that run I noticed the rear end making a loud noise when I would turn, so it looks like my trd diff may have a broken gear. Overall, I'm happy to have the record back and also glad that my fuel pressure issue is almost solved!

Big thanks to Mike Vig from VigTec fabrications for making my fuel cell last minute and doing such an awesome job! The fuel cell partially fixed the fuel pressure drop issue, but it looks like I am going to need a bigger pump too. The pressure differential is still 8-10 psi when both nitrous stages are on, much better than 25-30 but still not fixed.

That first pass. Looks like his car is bouncing off the suspension during take off? I can see some unloading of the rear slicks... but that might be the camera angle.

why oh why mickey mouse the fuel pump.

Tell Darin to quit babying the fuel pump and get what the big boys run, Weldon 2345 and also because figgie said so!
