Here are 2 of the latest runs using Fastchips custom program. Since I haven't had time to dial in the fuel systems FMU or superfueler, I'm sure there will be a few more tenths shaved off and then I will be back in the mid 13's. Also, my 60' times were slower than usual at 2.1x. They should be in the 1.9x so there is more time there to be had too. The drag season is over so there will be no chance to get the low thirteen's this year.

Notice how I shallow stage on both videos. I must 'roll off' the line with only partial throttle to keep the tires from going up in smoke.

Here I hit the brakes before the finish line but I still broke out and lost! I didn't have  my helmet so I could only dial in a 14.00

Here is the inside shot of the first programming from Fastchip. This programming was .7 slower and 9MPH slower then it should be. There  were a few variables that also may have slowed me down: 1) I forgot to plug the vacuum line that feeds the Superfueler, so it only saw 5 lbs boost instead of 11, so there was not enough fuel! 2) Four of the spark plugs were missing the platinum electrodes. Now with water/alcohol injection that shouldn't of happened. Also, tire spin was worse than usual.

The biggest problem is the huge drop in RPM (1800 instead of 750) on the 2-3 shift. Once it shifted into 3rd the truck just sat there..  no power at all. This was fixed in the second program and I got back the MPH but the ET is still a few tenths slower.

Also the shift RPM was supposed to be 5700 but Ed set it at 5200. This was also fixed on the second program.
