BTW, videos will be up tomorrow night. Later if I can't fall back to sleep.

I believe if the pipe held, he would have had a better run than the 12.9.
He is going to go back to the track tomorrow night, err tonight, err later, err Friday to put the screws to it. The kid is on a mission...
I video'd all of his runs, but the 12.9 one... his car was at the line by the time I got in to position and my camera was off. I got all the others and the last one where his pipe blew off. I won't post any of them without his permission.

Oh...Gotcha. I thought he was saying it was on 14 PSI of boost. Kool.
And definitely looking forward to the Videos...

when i was at the track i guess that the 15 psi on a 18 psi tune made the car a little rich. i was so bussy watching my tach that i never noticed this problem. also zpi's car was totaly gutted i imagine, and running stock compression. my launch left something to be desired as well. i'll see if i can get all these bugs ironed out tonight at the track. 
Good point on the Gutt and Stock compression.
Now I know why I have the Defi gauges with the recording and playback feature. I use it all the time to record how the boost acts on the car, and to see if I need to turn up the **** a little.

Brett-
didnt see what boost controller you are running? is it a single stage or dual stage?
Travis-
do you have a controller in your car yet?
Looking forward to seeing what you guys get out of your setups. Keep it up. ;)

Yep, I just got it installed 2 days ago. It's just a Single Stage manual Turbo XS boost controller. I needed to turn up the boost now, otherwise I would have just waited to get an electronic one. But I needed a quick fix, and it's working perfectly. Planned on going to the track Tues. but the weather calls for rain...

Bummer...for the controller and the rain.
take this for what it is worth, and this goes for everyone, especially those with a log manifold....
Because you guys make so much torque down low in the powerband, traction becomes an issue, you will benefit from a dual stage controller.
Turn down the boost down low(1st stage) and at launch( say 5-7spi) get out of the hole and once you get to the top of second hit that button and switch to high boost.(2nd stage) your 60 fts will improve and so will your et's.
Just some friendly advice. I want to see you guys go as quick and fast as you can.
Have fun.

Here's the link to the 12.94 run on Wednesday. If it's not working yet give it a bit to finish the youtube convert.

Brett let me know if you want me to post the others or not.

I couldn't see crap but I think I was looking through the camera but I'm sure I still couldn't see otherwise.
