This would of been a low 6.5 or high 6.4 but as this was only our 2nd run and were still testing, came off of it early and still ran the 6.63

We have also added a gurney flap to the rear wing and also to the rear wing spill plates too. Another addition is some 1" angle alloy to the sides of the body to get it lower to the ground and added strength

Any more tips and hints please help us go faster!

Thanks
Luke,congratulations on the win! I posted a few more things,but the stuff on the supercharger may not mean anything as you mentioned you were switching to a centrifugal style from the Roots type.I have been looking at the composite bug-catcher with three throttles,like Kenny Bernstein and others have run.It looks like it is better streamlined,and also projects forward into less turbulent air,which might be torn up by the engine/pulley/belt/etc..
