Default New PB (1/8th)with VIDS SBE "old truck motor"

SBE LQ4 w/L92 heads and cam (car is the 98 in sig)

DA was decent @ 603 but had typical crap track prep on Friday night T&T. Very crowded and letting anyone go down any lane

Best pass of the three was a spinning 7.19 @ 97.76 (1.68 60' )

I think she's got 6.9's in her with a better track and 60'.
Vids to come....

Don't know for sure (really need to get it weighed).
I do know what I've taken out (weighed on digital scale) ~280#'s.
Plus the extra ~80# of the iron block...so I'm guessing 3200 - 3300#???
I don't even know what a stock 98 T/A weighs...I've heard anywhere from 3600-3800#

Slowmo, before I tightened the front end down some. It was obviously too loose and unloading the tires.

Actually that's me driving by myself. We can't go faster than 8.75 with two people in the car.
On your suggestion...that is exactly my next mod. Fog lights are gone. Buy some of those little LED cubes and mount in the blinker holes, gut the headlights, and leave the "flaps" down!! The track is pretty dark at the far end and return row.

Just went to Pilot truckstop...#3240 with both leather power seats (#88) and 1/4 tank of gas. Hope to get to #3000 before cage install.

Man do we need a cage(and possibly a drag bar)...she was doing the Vin Diesel Twist bad today.
With us both in the car, son driving, it cut a 1.55 60' and a 4.50 330' (we can't run it all the way out with two people in the car) this equates to a 7.05 1/8th mile time
Alternator gave up, killed the battery, and we were done before I got a chance to run it by myself....6.90's will have to wait a little longer I guess.
