Thumbs up Made a couple of 1/8th mile runs in the third gen conversion

Got to make a couple of(1/8th mile) runs in the conversion over the weekend. Keep in mind it still has stock manifolds, stock catalytic converters and stock cat-back (Man is this thing quite). Also it has 16x8" wheels all the way around.

1st pass
1.90 - 60'
8.17 - 1/8th
87.87mph

2nd pass (bad wheel hop)
1.99 - 60'
8.29 - 1/8th
87.72mph

3rd pass (75 shot eased it off the line so no wheel hop issues)
1.98 - 60'
7.79 - 1/8th
94.14mph

Should be interesting to see how it does with a little more work and spraying it out of the hole with a bigger shot.

Well i am not sure on the weight yet, it has not seen a scale, but hopefully HRP's scale will be open on the 16th. It has a 4L60e(stock tq converter)with 3.42gears in the 10bolt and it is on BFG drag radials on 16" rims. Other than that everything is stock, stock lower control arms, stock tq arm, you name it, its stock.

And the 75 shot was with only 800 psi of bottle pressure, i havent got the heater for the bottle yet.
