I did get it tuned at least for the event at E town. I was gonna have Job Spetter from Turbo people tune it but he had a wedding to go to and a race this weekend so My buddy Chris who worked for turbopeople tuned it for me.
We spent 3 hrs and 20 gallons of fuel tuning on sat in the street.
I cant run that fast this weekend anyway, No liscense, No suit,ETC ETC my home track lets me skate by but E town wont I am sure.
Its gonna be the first day out in almost a year anyway so 10.00's will probably seem fast again.lol
May crank up the boost last run of the day though.
May take you up on the tuning at some point.

Hey Hoyzee do you wear a 3.2A/15 suit or a 3.2A/? suit
I saw on biondos site that turbo, NOS, or superchraged cars must wear a 3.2A/15 suit WTF N/A doesnt need that TTP 60 rating.
I mean its for our own safety but Its alot of CASH.
MOst guys I talk to arent running that spec even with turbo supercharged cars running gasoline. seems only the alcky guys are wearing them.

i run the 3.3/5 gloves
shoes also a 3.3/5
neckbrace the same and my helmet is an snell sa2005
and i run a helmet fire skirt as well.
safty first, but i dont think the better suit will help.
a couple of us tried it out one time with my old single jacket. i put it on had a couple extingishers and we hit it with a few drops of wd-40 and lit it up.
it went up as fast as anything and did singe the hair on my arm!! so i wouldnt want to hit a hot fire with anything on. lol

Yeah even the 3.2A/15 has a very minimal fire time rating to 2nd degree burns
It was like 30 seconds or something rediculous.
Why did I give up drag racing and buy another boat???
OH yeah it was wayyyy safer.LOL

haha, yea. i also have a fire system in my car. i have a nozzle under the hood and one pointed at my feet.
people as why not over my head. i say. fire is coming threw the fire wall as all my fuel etc is in a cell under the hood, so its pointed at my feet so my feet have time to hit the brakes. if my feet are on fire 160+ mph isnt easy to jump out of the car without stopping. lol

I keep a canister right on the center console pointed towards me so all I need to do it pull the pin and squeeze not even take it out of the holder.
I didnt make the river run yeasterday but I won my class at Etwon so that made up for it.
