So do you have a sfi3.2a/15 flame suit? I'm kind of upset that they change the flame suit rule in 2012 for people that run ethanol and faster than 9.99. I used my 3.2/5 setup for 2 years and it's like new, now unusable. The cost of the suit is much greater too, I have a Simpson setup now and to upgrade to SFI-15 its $1600.00. I know there are other cost effective alternatives, like RJS for around 700, but there’s a lack of availability in time for MAP's PG. I'm afraid my fate will be determined in BIR's tech inspection...

What a load of crap, thank god for being slow is good for once. I meant me, in case anyone was wondering.

I talked to john a few days ago, and it sounded like he has a lot of work ahead of him to make PG, but well he was determined.

Yes running e98 and quicker then 9.99 we need to run the same fire suit as top fuel.

I have a line on a brand new suit and a parachute setup from an old top alcohol team.

I will write up another update this weekend, but a quick snap shot.

I drove the car early last week, we broke in the motor and changed the oil to red line 40wt race oil, and fixed a few minor things.

The tranny would not shift into 3/4 like it should and the wide band broke over the winter.

So off to MAP for a dyno session to see how the new parts are working.

First pull it made more boost then we thought it would, so we upped the boost cut and 2nd run made 613hp at 28psi, we added 1° of timing and made 620hp.

Then we tried upping the boost and ran into major traction issues.

The driver rear tire keeper spinning, registered 750@40psi, but I figure with no tire spin it will be about 850 @ 40-41psi. Which is the goal for PG. The AEM with control boost and have vss input for some traction control for 1st into 2nd gear.

Also with the QTP tires I hope if the tranny shifts right into 3/4 and makes the 850 it can I think this setup will run a high 8.

And a quick thanks to all my sponsors, and there are a few new ones this year: Modern Automotive Performance, Josh with CTS tuning, Ryan, Kyle, CP Pistons, Carrillo rods, Karl Ramm, KRAMM-LOX, Paul, Chuck at HTM, Jacks Trans.
