Car is still only leaving on 6psi and ramping to 21psi on these passes... tune is conservative, motor feels good. We plan on trying to bump it up enough to see 7's before the weekend is over... who knows. 8.17-7.99 is a farther leap than you would think.

Amazing runs...looking forward to seeing some video. Good luck at the shootout running with the big dogs. Sounds like your dog has quite a bit of bite to go with all that bark.
