Well I had some more issues right off the bat but here goes. I showed up a little late and then realized my stupid ass left the bottle on all night and most of it leaked out. So we scrambled for a while to get it filled. After that we were fairly good to go.
for the first run I had to let off a few times because the car got a little out of the groove.
Launched at 5k
60': 1.616
330: 4.691
1/8th: 7.255
MPH: 97.25

The last run, (Only made 2) was a pretty solid run down the track but the damn clutch slipped a little at the very last instant.
Launched at 5200.
60': 1.571<-- finally faster than the V8 60'
330: 4.582<-- fastest ever
1/8th: 7.085<-- fastest ever
MPH: 98.84

So I didn't quite get it but I'm knocking it down a little bit at a time.
It did make for a pretty memorable birthday.
 
Thats where things get a little funny. Running 6.9 will put most other cars in the high 10's in the 1/4. There's a guy on turbfoford thats say his car pulled similar to mine and he went 10's a 7.2.
My mph is also not where it needs to be. I lost a little due to how rich it got on the top end of the track. Stingers program is set to run on motor and works great. However I had been spraying it rich to make up for the stock computer. As we lean it out I should run 102 or so.
 
sorry I haven't been around. I just got back from pittsburgh for more ford training. Plus I had to work late tonight at the dealership. I will be there next thursday and I fully intend to run a 6.9999 if not better. so clear your schedule.

By the way as of today we'll be dropping a bomb from stinger performance. The cat is out of the bag elsewhere so we might let everybody know.
