Default 11.60 at 116.9, with room for improvment

Back to the track for more last night. Since last time, I have the x pipe on now, and the LT headers over macs. I also have the Yank tranny now. I improved about .1 and 1 mph. Another problem was that I was hitting the rev limiter pretty bad on the 1-2 gear change, which I don't know why that would have changed since last time I was at the track, so that was another problem. It was 70-75 deg out yesterday. Best 60 ft time was 1.58. The car's got enough power with the PT 4200 converter that the ET streets are spinning quite a bit. ET Drags are in my future along with the electric water pump. The engine was hot on all my runs. 60 ft times will fall to low 1.5s-high 1.4s hopefully with ET Drags or Hoosier slicks.

More new times coming soon.

Later

I really like my 4200 converter. It's on the loose side for daily driving, but it doesn't bother me.

I hope to see some low 11s once I get a few issues like the rev limiter and the wheel spin sorted out along with some colder weather
