Alittle over a month ago I bought new MT Drags. I was tired of not hooking up at the track on bald Nitto DR's. The first time out I did alittle burnout and as soon as I launched I blew #1 headgasket. Yesterday (3/20) I have everything ready to rock and the car is running stronger than ever. The time I got before the hg went on my Nitto's were 8.29 and a 2.07 60' (no mph times that night but were somewhere around 88). Last night I just bolted on the slicks and ran in 1/8 and a 1.68 60' 7.52 et @91.85 mph. I about fell over dead when I saw my timeslip. When I ran that 8.29, that was last december when it was cooler too. It was about 70* last night. The only thing I did differently from that 8.2 run was turned alky, boost and fuel pressure up alittle from 17#s to 20#'s of boost and added my power plate. I did see about 9.4 of KR on the 20#'s though. So I backed the boost down on the way home last night. I don't have inner tubes with my slicks. Do I REALLY need them? Or is it for cars with better 60' times? I can only hold 7#'s boost on my launch because my brakes push me through the lights.
