I am currently working on the push bumper on my truck. It will clip into the plow mount in seconds. Will follow up with some pics.

Yes, push bar is further back, basically set up to push it thru the staging lanes so I don't kill the battery. It came from the guy that built my cage, who has a lot of Bonneville experience.

Just got home from the Loring Timing Association "Maine Event".
Ran a best 223.3 in the mile and 243.5 in the 1.5 mile. A couple issues along the way, but a great few days in Maine considering this was the first time it ran the 1.5 mile.
I will update with details and videos soon..

Congrats! Those are outstanding numbers... 20 mph gain on the last 1/2 is STRONG...
Have you dynoed the car yet? (I haven't read the whole thread).. It has to be making serious power to run that mph..

Last dyno was 1086. Pretty sure it was still spinning the tires.

if you don't mind sharing, who is doing the tuning and what is peak timing? what AFR do you have it running at? curious how IATs look through the run too.
if you're not comfortable sharing don't sweat it.
1.5 miles WOT on >!k whp is crazy!

The car is pulling awesome all the way to 6th hope you got more footage.
Neverstop I was about to ask the same thing I'm curious about the tune as well.

ProEFI Tuning was done by Alex at Granite State Dyno in Hudson, NH.
I am working on learning it so I can make changes at the track.
Right around 16 degrees of timing at wot. AFR average 11.6 thru 4th, then we have some oscillation to work out.
I will check the data logs I have at home, but I think it was 75-90* air, 60-80* IAT at the start to 160's at the top end.
Will follow up tonight.

That's quite an increase in IATs. Is that just due to the water becoming heat soaked? Are there any plans to combat it? Wonder if a massive air to air (like Sinister's) would be better?

It was only 120* at the top of 4th .. The long 5th and 6th gear pulls are whats killing it.. I need to play with the volume of ice and when we dump it in as well.
