I do not have the time tickets in front of me but the Red Rocket ran 8.4X @ 170 on drag radials. This was obviously the first time out with the car and we have alot of learning to do yet but I am confident that many records will soon be broke!!

More details and stuff will be postd up later!

ITs time for you to get some seat time there Tom, and harness the new power of the red rocket then turn that bitch up and see what she has in there if you really blow on it.

Great looking car, and great passes for shake downs. The last pass I saw was 8.46 @ 169.x mph Thats haulin!!

I got 7 passes and Kevin got 6 or 7. So far, that is already more seat time then I got on all 3 last N20 motors! LOL!! The wick will be turned up very shortly!

Thanks!

I've got to dig the slips out, but i know the 60's were all in the 1.4x range. With the 2.48 1st gear and 3.80's out back it was hard to get it to leave with much power.

the 8.40 passes were in the 5.6 @ 140 range if i remember right. Too much power for the converter in 3rd gear though, it was sitting at 7200 for most of the gear until the MPH caught up.

Gear and converter swap this week and head back to the track on friday is the plan.

During testing on thursday at lower boost levels it was picking up about 43 MPH on the top end of the track. but only 30 once the converter starting giving out. I'm looking to get that 13 mph back with the 10" converter in it

Hoping to have an 8.teen @ 180+ slip for Tom on friday
