So the blower added another 4-6mph to the trap? Did they retune after the blower was installed or did they just bolt it on?

Dan,
It added 6mph -- and reduced ET by .1 with a crummy burnout and pisspoor 60ft time. There was a wreck, a fire and a person ran thru the end of the track. After an 11.73, 11.67, and 11.65 -- all with crummy burnouts and p-poor 60 ft times, I did not feel good about trying 'my luck' to do a real burnout and get a good 60ft time. But, no more bitching about top end, I promise...

I've been real busy -- B&D just yanked off my Eaton and bolted the Aptonized one on and we ran it. I'm betting there is some power to be obtained with a tune, but getting a tune is very 'time expensive' for me right now and I can't take that time. We proved it was safe 1 time -- and I'm filling with 101 octane from the famous Pump #9 until we get a good tune.

You r right PModdy, but remember that other 'little thing' I did???

Adam had the advantage of Earl's chiller at Arizona. I don't think we see the benefit of it in this cool weather, but I saw my intercooler fluid temp sitting at 58degrees F at C-Bad.
I did that so Adam and I would not constantly overheat the car when we are doing those 11-14 pull days at the strip.
Poor poor Piggie

Chiller? Are you talking about an intercooler heat exchanger or a reservior with chilled coolant?
