Default New best with big issues
Nevermind that it was bloody hot out

I was fighting various issues all day, but this was the cleanest pass...converter definately isn't right....need to pull it out and have it restalled....still way too loose for my combo

small-stroke turbo motors make converter building kinda difficult due to lack of torque N/A

little bouncy on launch...but the front is set dead tight, so not sure how I'm gonna fix that yet....maybe more power on the hit

That car is moving out, dude. Congrats on the PB. Is that a powerglide in that thing?

It sure was hot. It was August hot but a hot day racing is better than a cold day not racing
