I went out for Ubly Dragways opening day and got to make the first pass of the year on the track. Pretty cool.

I trailered my car for the first time in anticipation of breaking my T-5. But it held just fine. Not a grind, or missed gear, or anything.

First run was an easy launch, no powershift, warm the car up kinda run. I went 12.3 @ 110.
Next I dropped the clutch at around 4000 RPM, yanked both tires, powershifted down the track, and ran 12.0 @ 112.xx
I made one more motor run and spun a little too much on the starting line, and went 12.1 @ 112.

Next I put the bottle in. Launching on the hose with ET Streets is freakin' awesome! I pulled the tires, but the whole way down the track it did not feel right. My fuel pressure AGAIN was only at 70 psi.
I get my slip at the booth to read 11.2 @ 120 mph. 5 mph shy of what it normally runs.
I change my melted plugs and crank up the fuel pressure hoping to get that 10 second slip. I melted another set.

Back to the drawing board.
