No breakthroughs today. My best 2 passes were a 9.0@152 and a 9.0@151. I was having lots of issues launching the car. I ended up having the boost controller setup back asswards for the first 3 passes and the power was coming in way too fast. It's kind of confusing how these AMS's work. Ramp rates hose me up because you don't define the amount of time in which you want to hit XX psi on the gate. Instead, you give it a target and then you have to select thru a bunch of predefined rates. Once I got my head around that, I started having an issue with bleeding off boost. Not sure if I cracked the FAST, or if somehow a burnt wire can cause a misfire that would cause the BOV to crack open and bleed off the boost. Went to go make one more pass to see if I could duplicate the problem and noticed that my oil pressure was down about 6 psi from what I'm used to seeing at idle. Usually I get about 35 psi hot idle and was seeing 28-29 so I called it a day. Not real happy about the day in general but **** happens.
Tomorrow I'll check the plugs and wires and just start with the basics. If that doesn't resolve it, I'll pull the intakeand see if it's cracked.

i RUN ngk 7317's. It's a #8 heat range with a standard tip and a tappered seat.
Thanks. Jegster Adj tunnel mount adj torque arm, Jegster adj LCA's, Spohn Drag Bar, LCA relocation brackets, Comp Engineering 3 way shocks, Eibach springs and a S60 rear round out the back. The front are QA1-R singleadj shocks and 275 springs. Stock control arms.
If you you close you can see my rear lifting as I take off. That's because I twisted the splines in the driveshaft yoke which had my rear suspension in a bind. That's on the list. I'm going to have to break down and buy a billet one. I'm on my 4th or 5th slip yoke.

I was seeing 94% with race gas on the 8.9 passes.
I have since switched over to the Bosch 160# Low Imp Inj with the AEM Driver box and am running E85. I'm around 72-74% now on E85 at about the same power level.
Here are some shots from the track rental a couple weeks back.
