Hey guys, just got in. The weather is getting rough with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes so I came home for the night. We are still qualified 4th out of 12 cars but some hitters will be in tomorrow so I need to step it up a bit. I'm still having the trouble with the car not using the fuel. I run the same mph at 28# as I do at 26#. Valve lash adjustment didn't help, the car didn't respond to the timing change from 24-26 degrees. I have a 16 volt battery to install in the morning to get my operating volts from 13.1 to 14.7 and hope it starts using the fuel.

I was too conservative on the 1st pass....1.44 5.58. 2nd pass I went to 4600 on the 2 step and changed the boost ramp from 1.5 seconds to .2 seconds so it will hit right after the leave. My car doesn't like the 2 step at 4600 and this pass was no different, spun right on the line. Tomorrow I'll put it back to 4400 and raise launch boost.

Weighed the car for the first time.....3495 That's almost 200lb overweight. Donnie Key the #1 qualifier was 3320. It's making good power but it's a pig. I have to make a decision to leave the car stock looking or start some serious weight removal. We'll see how tomorrow goes.
