Thumbs up First real runs with the car...8s letting off at the 1000'

Got my licensing done and out of the way 2 weeks ago so I took the car to the track to make some more serious shakedowns...Unfortunately, I ran out of gear at the 1000' mark and let off (haven't had a chance to swap to my 1/4 mile gear set...thought I'm might get lucky...yeah right)

60' 1.437
330' 3.800
1/8 5.709
mph 129.34
1000 7.351
1/4 8.794
mph 147.51

Is it just me or is it still pretty soft out of the hole?

For a handful of passes 1.4x is a nice start, car was an easy 8.5 on a 1.3 and who knows what else you have left with shift points and lots of other stuff. Pretty awesome.

Sounds like it'll go .30s with a full pass and a quicker 60'.

Not too bad for using a tuneup designed for a 438".

See if you had a 438 the fuel would have been just right.

That's good to hear. I know how much you want to get that monster dialed in.
Trust me I know, mines so close to getting out I can taste the burnout smoke!! Good luck.
