I'm less than an hour North, in the big city of Kossuth (just outside Corinth). There's a few TRs in the Belmont area, too.

Hey, Keith! I'm still around. ;)

Sweet6, I ran 28 x 10.5 MT slicks, air bags both sides w/ no air in drivers side, 10 psi in passenger side, and leave off the E brake at 12-15 psi boost. Usually get low 1.5s to high 1.4s.

Al, Just wondering how much boost you were running on the pass? I don't care to tell that I have no idea how much mine was on my 10.66 pass. My 35 psi gauge is a tad over 36 psi when showing 35 when we calibrated it. It stayed pegged during my 10.66 pass......:eek:

Congrats! Hey Al, I'm one of the Mississippi boys that ran against you a few years ago in TSS at Bowling Green. I'm pretty sure you and I were the only two cars with unopened engines in the class. It's good to see your car's still flying! BTW......I got your 10.68 beat by .02 seconds! ;)...

I'm still around. My numbers and combo posted above were right......except for the boost. It was over 35. Don't really know, as that's all the gauge shows.

Car weighs 3560 w/ me in it. Have no idea how much boost. Gauge only goes to 35. This was in TSS in BG. No nitrous. Actually blew off the i/c hose right before the finish line. Still wonder what it would have ran if that hose stayed on.

My times are stock long block. I have changed valve springs. Heads, intake, and timing cover never off. Yes, it still has the original timing chain/tensioner! :-)

Turbo1dr, Short answer is yes! 35 psi gauge was pegged on the 10.6 pass. Don't know what it was. At 33-34 psi, car runs 10.8s.

My best pass is in my sig. Blew i/c hose off around 1200'.

You have a bigger and better turbo and i/c than myself. I run my OLD TA-61 in the 34-35 psi range through an OLD 17 row Mark Jackson i/c. You may be blowing hot air at the higher boost pressures, but you will still drop ET and pick up MPH. I'm guessing I ran close to 40 psi on my 10.6...

You're about 120 lbs. lighter than my race weight. Good luck.

This is my kind of post! You've got a 10 second ride there. Give it some more boost. You've got a good bit more in it. Love seeing stock motors fly. What does the car weigh?

Norbs, Mine has held together at 35.....and above. <DISCLAIMER> Your results may vary. :biggrin:

If a 54 is comparable to a TA61, 35 will be "productive".
