AS far as weight, don't think I'm lighter than you probably equal.

Be interesting what you would
pick up with a clean shifting trans and converter setup. Can keep trying to throw more power at it for tiny gains.
More power actually decreased MPH and increased E.T.
There is a sweet spot between trans slip and power at the moment 129 mph traps is all that trans can handle with headwind. Maybe 131 without a head wind.

What PSI you launching at? (Sorry if missed it) ... at my yocal track for test and tune, glue and prep is not good at all.
Just seeing your video, the prep has to be good. Nothing like what we have here I'd bet a lot of money on that.
Normally the track I went to this weekend is good. But the temps made the glue slippery at one point I thought my trans was shot, that's how much I spun. didn't hear the squeal from the tire.
But it was not the case.

Launching at 10psi started to net some good gains to get into the 1.5's.. but my case i just got to the 1/8th quicker,
but in the 1/4 not much improvement.. damn converter slip.
I will get 1.6s if I can a little luck and good track prep. But one thing I don't have and you had is the cable mod or suspension mods.
That is holding me back a little but track prep is #1 of my problems at the moment. 2nd is trans slip.
Either one removed and I'm 10s all day. My trans takes over 1 full second to shift into 3rd while I lost a lot of acceleration.

The new turbo is pretty challenging to launch.
Since I have a stock converter I have trouble building boost off the line.
I have to spool for at least 3 seconds to get decent boost 8-9 psi I launch or else I just light up the slicks and then I lose 2 tenths right there.
The other turbo made is easier to modulate power as it responded instantly. I also made less power.

If I ever go back again I will go with a progressive boost off the line, and then get into full power 200 feet out.
