At this rate, next year.
If you want to go next Wednesday I'm off next week and would gladly go up to watch. I might be able to get my old drag radials from Al for you to use. I think they are just sitting in his garage with all his other "stuff".

Yea, mine as well do a cam swap while the heads are off. Something with more duration and a little more lift to get more from those fancy heads and your bigger turbo.

Any updates bud???
OK, so I have the working pump in and went to the track.
I ran 13 pounds of boost, the ambient temp was about 20 degrees F below where it had been.
I ran 15 seconds and could'nt figure out why I was slower, MPH was under 90 so making less HP as well.
Installed TT chip, turned FP up to 41 line off and made some runs.
I could not break 14, all low 15's and could not break 90 mph, this time the TT chip brought boost to 15psi. So I was running more boost and slower MPH and 1/4 times. Messed a bit with fuel and ended runs at over 800 o2.
I plan to go back to stock chip, fuel pressure back to 39 line off and 13 psi, and see if I can get back into the 14.8's. Then turn up fuel a and boost a bit and see if I can run quicker.
Of course need to be knock free throughout.
I couldn't figure out why I'm running slower with lower air temp and more boost? Must be timing?
early run with TT had a bit of knock, under a degree, so we upped fuel via the chip slightly, which I think is what brought me to rich at the end.
