To answer the question above about boost: I dont know.
I didn't have any time to watch anything but the track and to glance at the rpm's a couple times going down the track. The track had alot of soft and hard areas so I had to watch what I was doing and where I was going.
The first pull the hard side of the truck was up top and the pull in the pro class the center of the track was the hard part.
I think boost was in the 60 lbs area but I dont know for sure.
The run was mostly from 3300-3500 rpm's and pullin hard!

Don,
I asked a track official when I was pulling up to the line if they had changed the sled at all for the pro class.
He said it was the same but who knows they probably changed the way the weight climbs since Terry was bout 10' less than the previous street pull.
But who knows.
I did have a better hook though in the Pro class and made 300.02 I came off a little harder. I wish I had video of that one!
Side note:
I have noticed that with some other pulls that if the street guys are only going say 270-290 then they will keep the sled the same since the Pro Street guys are only going to go another 20' or so.
But to do this you have to have a good sled like one from "Lowry Brothers".
They have several sleds I think the names are: Old Ironsides, Arctic Cat etc.

I hope you have some sponsor money behind you as you have some very serious dollars and time in that truck. Awesome. Keep up the good work. What gear did you use for that pull?
It will be a while, a long while before I can go that far with mine. $$$$

That gear was 2nd HI range. Which turns out to be about 24mph on the road. Launching at 3600rpm and running all the way at around 3300-3500rpm.
Thanks for the kind words.
I dont have any "official" sponsors but there are some vendors that have been very kind to me

It looks like all those "upgrades" you did have payed off pretty darn well. Congratulations!
