Test and Tune pass...same tuneup, a little more suspension travel up front...1.341 60' but spun about 125-150' out (track went away...Stine spun in the same part of the track moments before)

I was pretty happy with the results last night. We didn't get ANY data on the first pass but we got the staging technique down. I wish we had added the travel for the first round and been able to adjust the shocks for the last hit which should have been pretty good. Last hit just barley hazed the tires. It was interesting was the car went a 1.38 60' on a soft tuneup and the only thing we did was added the travel and it dropped to a 1.34 and the suspension still didn't look like it was working. 
And from the basics we did last night the car has some serious potiential.

car is very heavy...3497 to be exact 
Based on my Log data, the last 2 runs, where the car spun, it was going ~7mph faster at 1 1/2 seconds into the run than the 5.33 @ 140 pass

You guys should bring that car down here on june 20th to Peidmontdragway. They are having a 275 drag radial class and there will be some bas *** cars there. That track will hold that car. RPM will most likely be there with their black car and there will be a few turbo mustangs there. They will be running in the 5.30 -.40 range. I think it is free to enter and it pays out like 500.00 to win. I will check and post a link up.
