[QUOTE="SVT_Troy, post: 15995429, member: 124907"] Unfortunately the track was crowded and I was only able to make 2 passes. My first pass was my shake-out pass so I just rolled out the hole and checked my shift points. I found out that my cars rear ride height was to low and it shredded a groove in my new slicks.... I raised the ride height and hammered in the rear portion of the fender. The upper portion was professionally rolled but this time it wore into the rear portion of the fender on the upper bumper mounting screw. It wore all the bumper plastic from that area.... It sucks but none of it can easily be seen so no biggy. Anyway It pretty much ruined my brand new slicks.... After looking at them and talking to a few old timers at the track I decided to send it again! [ATTACH=full]1512786[/ATTACH]IMG_8469 I wanted to make another shake-out pass but with the track being crowded I decided to launch the car. It was a but pukering moment because to date every time I've dumped the clutch i've broken something! Well I did a proper 2nd gear burnout @ 11.5 psi cold I planned on revving to 5k and flat out dumping it but ended up slightly slipping out the hole. It felt like a pretty strong pass but soon as I saw my slip i was heart broken. After a mixture of cursing and talking to SOAP (A member here) I realized something was up, my trap speed was way low for my expected power level. I was trapping 132 mph two years ago before I made a bunch of changes. Luckily I data log all my runs! Soap picked out quickly that throttle voltage was low, I was barely over half throttle the entire run and max boost peaked 11psi. I should be running 15-17 psi depending on weather! [ATTACH=full]1512787[/ATTACH]IMG_8467 The next day I started looking into it and it was obvious why I never hit peak boost and my throttle voltage was low.... This is where my throttle body was at during WOT!! [ATTACH=full]1512788[/ATTACH]IMG_8490 Its not sicking and I did the throttle cable slack mod years ago so that wasnt it....... drum roll...... I never miss leg day, I bent the damn gas pedal! I actually have a spare because i've done that before. I put the spare in and the throttle opens as it should. So now I have a few spares and plan to reinforce and mod it so i cant get excited again. Hopefully I get it done and when it cools of I get it back out to the track and run some noteworthy times!
