Took the Formula to the track.........

and it didn't run to well. It ran great up to about 4500rpm then it would start sputter and pop. I cought a glimps of the fuel pressure gauge and it was at 60psi(maybe a little more) I wasn't fast enough to look at the boost gauge. I think the cause is fuel or ignition .

TraviZ thanks for taking the video.

first boosted outing

well basically reving it past 4500rpm was a waste of time. the first run was so bad, I didn't see a point in running it again. time was a 15.4@87mph. I already ordered a cable so I can do some data logging, I also need to have my wideband installed.
