Congrats on the pass Ernie and nice job keeping at it and not giving up, even with all the **** talk going down but then again that's what keeps us motivated.
You're still using a clutch assisted transmission or do you have a clutchless?

Thanks guys, but its always something. Made 3 passes yesterday. First two was test n tune. Last was the qualifier. 100amp fuel pump fuse blew under full boost on the last pass and you can figure it out from there. I need a break from this though. So much work for not much back.

Ernie, if you want to be making big gains again why don't you put a full bridge 20b in the car?

It seems like you've reached the point where diminishing returns makes it too expensive for the gain of a fraction of a second modding the 13b. just my 2 cents...

I'm curious to know why you figure a 20b would be cheaper and better alternative than his 800hp 13b?



Ernie, sorry to hear about your recent bad luck.. But it seems like you're making major leaps, so don't give up just yet.. I'm sure it's mentally, physically and financially, but try to hang in there. Don't worry, if you were to switch to a piston motor (almighty 2jz) , I would love you no less

Man that sucks..... you definetely have had a bad run of luck. Sorry for that. I hope you were using a "unbreakable" seal of some sort to minimize damage?

Like mentioned above, time to step up to a mechanical fuel pump, especially with the power you're making now.
