Newest member of the 10 second 2.73 gear club :) Finally decided to hit the NAWWWSSS 5177 dry kit, and so am applying for 10 second club status. 
This is on M/T 275/50-15 Drag Radials at Kansas City on Nov 6th, on
90 octane fuel...
Two 75 shot Nauce passes:
1.65 60' 7.04 @ 98.48 1/8th 10.99 @ 124.75 (a littlespin on this pass)
1.56 60' 6.96 @ 97.98 1/8th 10.97 @ 122.01 (low bottle pressure on this run)
Timeslips, right lane both passes:

Launch pic from a 1.61 60' / 11.57 @ 117 motor pass:
My car's a little slower on 60' because of the 2.73 gear, but it IS
hooking....
I built the engine from junk parts I got from www.smcperformance.com and eBay in the fall of 2000. The valve covers have not been off the engine since I switched to www.cylinderheadspecialties.com heads (thanks Chris!) 3 years ago. The engine has full bolt ons, the heads (10.5:1 compression), a Comp 224/.581 cam, and a Yank ST4000 stall. The driveline is COMPLETELY stock (u-joints, steel driveshaft, torque arm, 2.73 geared 7.5" 10 bolt, axles, and wheel studs) aft of the tranny output shaft ( I built the 4L60-E, using the Raybestos Z-pak 3-4 clutches, Trangso shift and vacuum modulator kits). I've never had the cover off the rearend (now I don't want to look
). I tune the whole mess myself with HPTuners and the Aussie wideband. The car has been 11.42 @ 117.XX on the motor. Raceweight is 3450 lbs for quick runs.
I went ahead and combined the best speed/ET for my sig
thanks for looking

Hey Welcome to the club. Glad to see another 98 Purple TA in the tens. Now lets see if you can beat me into the nines.....
Great runs especially with the 2.73's.
