Default Liiiiiiitle closer to the 10's last night

Last year was running 11.40's@120 with sub 1.6 60's - best of 11.46@120 on a 1.67 60'

Ran tonight and got an 11.3762@120.32 with a 1.6992 60'

That's the first 1.6 this year - all else have been mid 1.7's so far. I really wish I could launch full throttle off of this Edge 3800 but that's impossible right now.

If I can hit a sub 1.6 sometime this year she might go 0's. Best chance for a sub 1.6 is going to be June 19th - we've rented Norwalk and the track is usually VERY sticky for us. I will have my front QA1's/drag springs and chassis mount TA installed by then so hopefully it happens. I was really shooting for mid 1.5's this year but wow does this converter hit hard.

Found out last night that i've broken the stock torque arm - this could explain a lot to me. I've been down the track about 25 times this year so far and have only cracked 2 high 1.69 60's - as opposed to 1.61-1.64 pretty much every single pass last year.

Most of the runs this year so far have been 1.75+ - very very bad.

Fixing tonight with a new clamshell - I can't wait to get the chassis mount TA installed - will eliminate this POS stock torque arm.

Good luck, the mph is there for a high 10 second pass, you'll just need a really low 1.5 or high 1.4 60 foot time to make it happen.

I agree with Derek sub 1.5 60' would be enough to hit 10's

Good luck !!

peace
