Thumbs up first day at the track with the gn.

well today was the first night at the track with the gn. the traffic getting to the track sucked. i learned alot.

1. power master dont like stop and go.
2. the fuel pump makes weird noise when running low on gas

my first run sucked due to my lap top not wanting to work so i relaly couldnt stay on it. i dumped and went a 13.72 the second i got a real bad 60' with a 2.006 that pass was 13.64 the last pass i did a 6psi launch and got a 1.89 60' and went threw the traps with a 13.53 at 98 mph..

once again i gotta thank ed for letting me use his drag radials.

You did good. Also that was with only 15lbs of boost. Track was not hooking up that good.
My best 60' was 1.76 @ 11.56@118.01 with 20lbs of boost. Next time we will do better

Fuel pumps go bad very quickly when they suck air! Don't let it do that too often and not for any length of time..they get really hot when they do that.

Great Pics...good first time out!

If you throw in some 100 octane up the boost to 20psi and give it some more fuel pressure. Then see what a GN is all about.
