Hopefully I'll get a chance to find out next month.

nice job scott what does it do 60 /130 at that boost level ?

Vids or it didn't happen.. Last time we had a car that picked up more than 35mph on the back half of the track it was considered a "fake"...

Great job Scott!

Amazing how hard these cars are to launch that the difference between the two power levels is minor in ET.

^ That's just the way it works... It is usually an indicator of good power, with a difficult launch.

lol! Sorry, I know it wasn't as descriptive as you'd hoped... But usually high horsepower, rear wheel drive cars that have problems with traction (like a poorly launched ZR-1) will get a 12sec 1/4 @ 133mph, but a good launch might get 11sec @ 129mph. Because the better the launch, the less time the car has to build speed, the worse the launch is, the more time the car has to build speed.
