M&H Racemaster 8.5 x 24.5 slicks, 28 lb. injectors, base fuel pressure set at 58. These tires are a different animal than the 7.5 x 23 slicks I used last year ... giving up some gear ratio. After viewing the video, I think I can safely drop a few more psi. Starting out with 19-20 lb pressure. Full exhaust, air filter bypassed.

1/8-----8.362
MPH-----81.92
1000----10.957
1/4-----13.187
MPH-----100.54
Notes: launched at about 1500, got KR in all gears, more when auto shifted to 3rd -- only 12* net advance in 3rd gear....either lost fuel delivery in last 2 seconds of run, or PCM pulled fuel...

1000----11.112
1/4-----13.295
MPH-----100.08
Notes: Looking back at the scan on this one is scary as hell...launched at 2100 -- got wheelspin, PCM cut fuel at beginning and end of track, but huge KR spike at very end of run....Intake manifold temperature near #1 cylinder spiked 30 degrees (backfire?)...engine died at end of track turn-out. If there is engine damage, this is the run that probably did it...

Notes: Launched at 900, still got wheelspin, forgot "trac off" switch, totally botched run...

1000----10.846
1/4-----13.111
MPH-----94.83
Notes: this one's a heartbreaker... best ever 60 ft. time, best ever 1/8 mile E.T. and 1/8 mile MPH.... but PCM pulled the plug in last 2 seconds of run (see 1/4 MPH) -- not only timing but cut off injectors -- suspect trans abuse mode or fuel delivery....launched at 1100, but had to back off throttle due to wheelspin... should have been a 12.9xx run....

Notes: Raised base fuel pressure to 62....launched at 1000, on/off the throttle twice during launch... did better at end of track as far as KR than previous run... used different trans technique... best ever 1/4 mile MPH.
And that is 302 races, 297 on the 1/4 mile.
Damage report in a few days.......
