Mara's is close, but it has killed my spirits. It was leaking oil out the lower timing belt tensioner bolt pretty bad. I fixed some wiring to a coolant temp sensor. I fixed a few problems, but it has some other small problems like the radiator leaking, oil return leaking, axles seal leaking, and I might have to pull the tranny to work on the clutch engagement. I was trying to get it done for this weekend, but I think I am done trying to rush.

I went. I still can't get the damn stutterbox to work correctly. I am going to have to work on that some more.

First run was limited to 6k because of the stutter box, ran a 12.5@113
Second and third run I totally bogged the launch after turning the stutterbox off.
Fourth run I had the CAS plug pop off shifting into 3rd, 16.1@50 :D
Fifth run and what I thought was going to be my last, 1.89 60' and a 11.88@121
Last run of the day after brackets 1.71 60', 11.53@123.

I am pretty happy with that. I would have been alright with a new personal best and was aiming for an 11.5 the way it was. I expected the MPH to be higher though. The tune is pretty rough still. I was running quite rich and not much timing, just to keep things safe. The tranny took a fair amount of damage from my crankwalked engine that was in before this, shifting was mediocre at best.

I will have a video up in a few days.

Congrats on the new personal best JET. 11.53 is nothing to be ashamed of. Are you certified to run lower than 11.50 (cage)? I can't wait to run my 11 second runs next year but i'll take the 12.05 that i got. How much boost were you throwing at it?

Did you hook up with any other dsmstyle guys down there? I've been curious all weekend to know how things went.

Thanks guys!

I don't have a cage installed yet, it is sitting in the garage. There was only one other DSM down there, a black spyder running 16's. There were a ton of fast cars down there.

So what boost/oct were you running at the time Jet?
