Went and did some more testing and finally ran the #s that i needed to get my license. We ran out of time at the track so I only have 2 passes left and i will have my license. We got the first 4 done now all I have left is the last 2 full 9 sec passes here is a couple of the videos

Congratulations!
What did you end up doing to the suspension to get it hooking? Still running on the radials? Was it still running the 150 shot?
I'm gonna have to try and get down there this year to see what I can do on a track that hooks.

We went looser on the shocks, I made a a lot of my passes on a 28x10.5 ET drag but did try the radials at the end of the day and had them working. I had the 150 hit in for a bit and ran a string of 10.0's switched to the 200 and went 9.81 with no tuning off the footbrake. Hopefully get the nitrous relayed with t brake and see if it will 60' a little faster best 60' was a 1.38 but did 1.40 all day on the hit, 1.50 on motor. I am hooked now I want to put bigger pills in, but I am sure with some tuning I could get a low 9.7 high 9.6 with the 200 hit. :)

My wonderful wife did all of the camera work for me. I have to thank her for that and all of her patience and support she has given me in the last couple weeks.

No it was the rev limiter this is the first time out with everything working right and it spools a lot faster than before (driver error shift light was moved by my son(7 yrs old) while sitting in truck and practicing his driving)

Sounds great. When you say looser, do you mean higher number or lower number?
When do you plan on going down there again? I'm planning on running in two weeks at the Muscle Car Shootout at Rock Falls. I've had some good luck running to an index in the past, plus you get a lot of runs in without the high price of test and tune.
