Well took it to the track last night. Went a 7.64@89.5 1.62 60 ft. Was hoping for a little more but it just wouldn't do it. Guess it's time to look into getting some weight out...and a gear change

well I wasnt too far off, I was guessing on your weight you must be around 36xx# with you in it? I was thinking 3500 which would put you right where I said

Idk what it weighs I'm right at 300 lol I know that hurts. Not bad for a car that went 8.70s a little over a month ago. Headers stall cam and drag radials dropped it over a second......3.73 will be soon I hope before the season is over but we'll see. It's hooking good pulled left front up abt 4 inches is what I was told. I felt the front suspension stop when it was coming up. Still has p/s a/c full interior etc. I wanted a 50 out of it but I think with a gear and rear seat and bumper support out it will do it

wow time for a diet LOL
Feels good to drop allot of time at once. I went from 13.0@115 to 11.41@120 just by changing street tires to radials
Thats a pretty good time for your mods for sure

I'm also 6' 5" so I'll never weigh under 200 unless I'm dead haha. I've got a few things I could improve. It's a very low budget build for sure. It will get there

Just out of curiosity what would my 1/4 mile times be? Close guess? It's kind of a good little drive to any of the track around.

What track? What day? What time of day? There are a few websites that will show you the DA for every day of the year. Very useful.

New best! Went a 7.54@91 1.61 60 ft da was around +1000-1200. Took rear seat and rear bumper support out before I went yesterday. I'm happy with that with what the car has. I need a gear bc it shifts right before the lights and if it would've stayed in the power I would've beat a Shelby that was putting down 560...he got me by a bumper, I had him until I went to third
