Boost is as low as it goes, 9psi.

First run, 1.99 60ft 6.4 127.1
Damn, this aint as easy as I thought.

Second pass, shiftlight comes on so fast I forget what the hell is going on. Coast to the finish.

Third pass. I put it at 5K, leave half throttle, bogs a little boost comes in, I manage to hit the button as early as I could think to, yea, it shifts, bam wheelie, spin 2nd and 3rd, wobble fest.
5.92 @ 130MPH

Did I mention this is as low as the boost goes? :)

I tried to race a couple more times, and couldnt 60 ft below a 1.78. Ran a few 6.1s @ 129.5MPH. This thing is a handful to launch, I need a datalogger like we need a new president....Im gonna go on a stickier night and hopefully get some of this clutch action sorted out. I dont know what scares me more, riding this bitch to 130 on 9psi, or the fact I can go to 35.... :eek:

Thats badass man! I can imagine that thing is a real handful! Congrats on the mph, what will that equate to in the 1/4 on a bike?

There is so much still locked up in that bike, its not even funny. I am amazed that on such jacked off runs, it still runs 130. CRAZY :)
Good job Nick!

You have to be half crazy to ride that thing, and to think we need a new president;) Its definatly going to fly if you can get a clean pass out of it. Good luck tonight, and be careful !

Someone needs to show pics to remind you guys this bike is only 60 inches long. Its a short mofo too....I dont know if Im gonna make it tonight, Im trying to add some ballast to the front before I go back out. If I dont go tonight I will be there wednesday. Txshootout in h town is next weekend, so Ive gotta halfway get this sorted out. Who cares, I bet it still runs 8.90s on the 6.1 passes :)

I switched to a TRAC arm so I could go back to a wheel with a cush drive. The direct drive wheel I had was gonna spin way too bad with this much power. Not to mention what it would do to my tranny.....the arm I have now is aluminum 0-6 over. I have it set at about 59-3/4" so I don't get DQ'd

Nick, it sound like a hand full or two. Just take your time and get the feel for first. No need to tear it up trying to run a world record just yet.;)
