Originally I was using the LF sensor. I switched and am now using the RR sensor. Seems to be much better but I haven't tested it at the track just yet.
Also the stock tach wasn't working 100% which is why I switched to the aftermarket unit.

Went back to the track 2 weekends ago. Tried out Lebanon Valley Dragway. It was 97 degrees out that day.
I had the boost at 20PSI but I made some good progress with the car.
Theres still more in it for sure. The 11.52 pass was on the brakes as well.
Cage time real soon.

Went to Island Dragway a few weeks ago and only got in 1 pass before the rain came. Ran 11.59 @ 125 spinning through 1st and 2nd.
Finally picked up my own tow dolly.
Fall Nationals is 2 weeks away!
I will try to get some videos up later today.

I havent updated this thread in a while and this section of the forum has been dead so here is an update for everyone. I will try to backlog since my last post.
Over the winter I did not make any changes to the engine setup but I changed up the fuel system. I ditched the stock tank and put a 3 gallon fuel cell up front opposite the battery. I changed the pump setup to 2 Bosch 044 pumps.
I retuned the car early in the year and turned the fuel pressure up to 95psi base and the boost up to ~28psi.
The car made an additional ~30WHP bringing me up to about 530WHP.
I took a bit more weight out over the winter and the car weighed in at 2320 with me in it.
BUT I also added a 5pt roll cage
I made 2 passes early this year. The best being 11.03 @ 126MPH.
I spun a rod bearing on the second pass running 11.3 i think.
I've been debating on what I want to do now but i've got it ironed out now.
I have to do a rebuild so I am getting the usual: bearings, head gasket, 1 rod, rings, etc
The car has been on a 100% stock cylinder head up to this point. I am going to put a valve/spring retainer kit into it to bring the revs up so I dont have to shift into 5th towards the end of the track.
I am also planning to upgrade to a Holset HX-40 so I can make a bit more peak power.
I should be done rebuilding and on the dyno within a month. Will post the results.
I also will be taking out a bit more weight including a polycarbonate windshield.
I am hoping to be competitive in the 10.50 index racing class we have up here in the northeast.
Thanks for reading.

Gotcha, I'm gonna be running E90 on 1200cc injectors myself. My tuner is coming by my house this weekend to wire my AEM EMS-4 but he's gonna put my base fuel psi @ 45....I'm running a Walbro 416 (specifically made for E85) fuel pump with a Dezod fuel return system.

I definitely agree with that statement with the Walbro 255's but this new 416 pump is the truth. 2 friends of mine (700 hp DSM, 800 hp Supra) run this pump and they have no issues at all with fuel pressure drop. DSM runs 30 psi of boost and Supra 45 psi. But to get back on your build when do you plan on hitting the track again?!!
