Well, before we went to the track on Sunday, I brought the alternator over Advanced auto parts to get checked out. My charging system was only at 12.6 volts @ wot on the passes from LVD. It checked out good. I put the alternator back in the car, and hooked the battery charger up to it. The charger display was reading that the battery was only 50% charged. I left it on a 2 amp trickle charge the whole night.
I checked it in the morning and it was up to 14.4 volts and 100% charged. I went over to the alternator and tightened the belt up and started reconnecting everything when I smelled brake fluid.... My front line on my master had a pinhole in it and was leaking! ![]() We got our first pass in around 1:45 pm. I ran a 9.53 @141.59 and Eddie ran a 8.98 with his Vega, lifting about 3/4 track! ![]() When I got back to the pits and opened my hood, I noticed water coming out of my lower radiator hose. The hose blistered and broke through right by the header going up to the turbo. We cut the hose and did a quick fix, filled it up with water and we made sure everything looked good. Our next pass Eddie ran a 8.90 @153! It was my turn now. We had adjusted the HR bar one more turn to try to get the 60' down. The car left like an animal, I got about 70 feet out and the lower hose repair blew off and water sprayed out all over the rear tires. It was pretty hairy, your going from a dead hook launch pretty much to being on ice. I noticed it right away and I got pretty loose but I straightened her out and got back to the return road without any incident. I got my time slip and I 60' 1.384. I think that pass would have been a 9.4x for sure! All in all it was a great day. We both had a couple of great passes and lived to tell about it! ![]() Jack, something is screwy with the boost still. just like at the Valley, car still runs the same #'s even when I turn the boost up? Just now it actually is registering that the boost on the XFI is matching the boost on the controller? ![]() ![]() I am sure it's something simple. I am going to hook up a mechanical boost gauge to see if the boost actually matches what the controller and the XFI is showing.

Don't know why the pics were quoted in the above post. I used the "quick reply" tab. You have an awsome car brother! Hope to get mine back soon. I'm getting bored around here.
