I ran it twice on the 35's to see just what the difference was. My 1/8 was 9.118 and with the smaller tires I was in the 8.4's
I didnt do any burnouts with the bigger tires either and tried to do a easier launch. I fear having to dish out another 1k for new tires prematurely.

Thats still not bad....because of the size of the city, the track can be upto 2 hours away depending on traffic.....if traffic is low it is still no less than 45 minutes from my house. I live on the north side of the city and have too travel roughly 30 miles too the south, then the track is 15-20 miles out of the city.
But right now the closest 1/4 track that is open is a 42 hour drive.

Nicely done man! 
IMO you're totally nuts running 75% meth though. The amount of meth probably made a huge difference on your power because the stock sticks were holding you back on fuel. I would really like to know the difference without the meth...any results?
EDIT TO ADD: 1/4 mile track is only about 5 miles from me. Oh, and it's open all year round too!

I was blown away and as giddy as a school girl. I had it set in my mind that I WILL run a 12 sec pass. I would review my scanner after the runs and video and the smoke cleared up at about 35 PSI boost. I know she wanted more fuel and I just got the bottle of meth out and kept dumping it in. To be honest... It may have been 60% or 90% meth, it just kept going faster the more white lightening she drank.
Believe me, afterwards I felt real bad. I checked the valves this morning and paranoia is setting in. I swear I hear noises out the stacks that werent there before. I tried to ask the old lady if anything sounded different, and I am sure you know the response.
It never did go over 3600 rpm but I get this way when I abuse my stuff. I know better but sometimes I get caught up in the moment and get headset on 1 thing.

When I got to the track, I blew a pass at 13.19 with the MP-8 @ 50%, strait water, SW9 tq. 4, timing 2, pres. 0 on my first run with the smaller tires.

if you get serious about the drag racing you may look into a proxes st tire. they have done pretty well on the street for my rig. I believe mike drever runs them and so does John P. on his rig. they would be good to run at the track instead of a big heavy mud tire

Matego what track were you at and was there an event in the area this weekend? I was up at the farm show complex last night watching the tractor pull finals. Man those things have some power. It was pretty awesome!

The diesel drags will be in Hagerstown on Oct 18th, that is a really good event to go to. I hope Lmills will run his truck there, I want to see that thing in action.
nonetheless....
