I'm heading to SW around 6:30pm to retest the bottle tonight. After having the soleniod fail last weekend on the first pass I'm lucky I didn't hurt the motor. So we replaced the soleniods and plugs this week, then retested it on the dyno. Everything looks good, it made @ 360hp & 460ftlb today, I'm hoping to hit the low 12's tonight.

Well do to me being a
dumb@$$, I thought I toasted the motor last night. They staged me with a full on race car
that was so loud I couldn't hear or feel what my Mach was doing. Being a IDIOT I sprayed it against him when I should have just run on the motor and sprayed it on the next pass. During that run something went wrong and I thought the motor was history, so I had it trailered (thanks Seth and everyone else who helped) to the shop. I changed the plugs and Devin checked the cylinder with a bore scope everything looks good
. Devin took it for a test drive and said that it runs like a bat out of hell on the motor. So once again I was very lucky
. I'm going to change a few thing in the car, then head to the track and try it again. On the first pass I went 12.8@98mph letting off a couple hundred feet early. On the next pass it went 12.7@112 spinning badly, I think it'll run pretty good once I can make it hook.

Yeah he was more then likely talking about me. When we put it on the trailer it didn't sound good. But it looks like I might be lucky, I'll know more after a coulpe days of driving.

Instead of the bottle, why don't you look into a supercharger? It seems that you are pushing the limits on mistakes with the bottle?
