I don't know what you mean by them regulating speed other than that you can't have a passenger and run faster than an 8.5. I think Qualcomm obviously has its negatives, but Barona is too far to travel for just another crappy 1/8mile track IMO. For those of you that do go, it'd be interesting if your times improve signifigantly vs. your Qualcomm times.

The first time they cut the passangers wrist band. The second time they cut mine. Oh well, it was going to be my last run anyway.

I understand your car is setup for the 1/4mile, but what are you shooting for in the 1/8th since that's all we have around here?
Now I launch the car so carefully that I bog so bad but I was still able to pull a 1.8 60. However, I really dont care about the 1/8 cause I know my car will shine in the 1/4. If I am able to launch the car how I usually do then I can definitely pull 7.5 on the street tune with 91oct and possibly a 7.0 on the race map w/ c16.
I am already trapping at 94-95mph even with the crappy launch and street tune.

I must have something wrong with my top-end power then. I've hit the 1.7s on my stock clutch for the 60ft and go through with decent shifting but still can't do better than high 8.1s. Maybe I'm due for another tune with the recent mods.

nah.. who tuned your car? I previously had a DYNOFLASH and baselined at 280ish WHP the other day AFTER installing cams and IC piping. So before I was prolly only around 275whp or less. Well Alfred at TT got me up to 370whp on 110 fuel, 328 on 91. So from my experience, I'd check the tune if you're not happy. Or possibly boost leaks and/or spark plugs. Remember that the 8s need cams to keep up with the 9s with other same mods (TBE, MBC, reflash). FWIW, you seem to be running the right times at that track for the mods you have though.
