Holy CoPo !!!
I tried more boost (accidently) , but without an intercooler (which isn't allowed) the extra heat generated negated any gain. It was a wash.

From here I need to focus on suspension mods to gain an extra 5 hundreths or so. Car has stock 1986 rear control arms and springs, stock 1986 quad shocks and stock '86 front struts and springs. Lotsa room for improvement.

However, I will say that I don't have many runs with the car, so I still have a lot of experimenting to do ( i.e. shift points, stronger brakes for more stall, lowering the front end, etc. )

Car ran in the 11's a couple of years ago in 45 deg. air in Michigan. (with Marty driving)
LOL...the little 4 that could.
