Default New Best!!

I finally got an OK time out of my 3300# sled. Carlsbad was hooking "OK" today, with temps in the mid 80s.

10.645@127.95 1.56 60'. Unlocked converter, full interior, full exhaust, etc. I'll be hitting Pomona next week (hopefully) which will be my last chance to get a 10.4x out of the combo. The 396 is coming out soon and I'm switching over to a forged 346 heads/cam/direct port combo. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

10.64 isn't all that great, but at least I'm quicker than Nine Ball's old clunker.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I have Tony's clunker now and with full interior and me in it (I'm 140 lbs it weighs 3710 lbs) and it still ran 10.6x <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> on slicks and skinnies. If he dropped 300+ lbs he'd have surely busted that time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Anyway, good run Terry. Your car is damn fast.

Congrats on the new times Terry, those runs are impressive for C-Bad, to bad we probably won't get to line up with out big bore's, it would have been nice <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> . You should really take off the exhaust/interior and go ***** out for Pomona, low 10's wouldn't be that hard if the weather is decent

I highly doubt your car is running anything close to 10s or you'd have a time slip to prove it. It only takes one pass if your car is what you claim.

Hey Terry, my car should be at Pomona. I'm getting the tranny rebuilt (staying with the t56 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> ) so I may not have the cash to get a rollbar welded in before then. When is the Thunder Shootout, I'd like to go. I don't know what Tim's running but I'll definitely put some $$$ on Terry's car.
