Thanks Mikey for the post....no matter how fast I go you're still the ls1 king

made 3 passes in all..today was a bracket day so i had to do the footbrake thing...

first pass 9.69@140 1.39 60 ft.. car came up hard hit the wheelie bar and shook the tires..

2nd pass I tightened up the afcos up front (thanks Jay Billingsley ) and raised bar up some which produced the 9.57@140.10 1.33 60 ft.

3rd pass 9.63@138.9 1.33 60 ft. alternator threw belt (one thing bout efi they dont like low voltage ) would be another 9.5 run since my 1/8 mph was up .3 but good day none the less,considering I just fired it up yesterday morning for the first time.And had nothing more than tuning in the shop then onto the trailer..

running a local Eastern f-body shootout this coming saturday..so hopefully I can dial it in some more and maybe play with the t-brake some...
