New PB at the track Not by much, but at the last minute I decided to run bracket racing tonight. Son, I would have called you but I went to the one here near Baton Rouge and it was a last minute decision. I got in a total of 5 runs and made it to the semi-finals where I lost to a new Camaro SS that was running 12.70's. I dialed in at 13.70 and ran a 13.72. He dialed in at 12.68 and ran a 12.78, but he murdered me on the light... a .231 to a .129. The run before that (knocking out a C5 vette) I cut a .081 light...not sure what happened this time 
I had to dial in slow because my clutch wasn't holding the launches and one run it even stuck to the floor..that run was 15.3@101..lol. They were dragging the track after every round and it was pretty sticky.
Anywho, my best run of the night which is a PB by .04 :
60' 2.203
1/8 8.934@82.42
1/4 13.627@105.14
It was another miserable night weather wise. I thought it was supposed to be a good night but was still super muggy.
9 runs and counting...no blown rear I'm also cutting consistant 2.1-2.2 60's with no spin/wheelhop. I could push it harder, but I don't want to risk it.
On a side note a 7 second '68 Camaro on meth and nitrous blew to kingdom come. The driver was burned a little, but overall ok. It went off like a bomb and crossed the finish line with a 7.6 ....in flames and parts flying through the air.

Yup 100% stock and it still has a rich condition problem(throws p0172 and p0175) that the dealership can't seem to figure out. I think there is still .2-.4 to gain in the 1/4 when the weather gets better and IF they can ever figure out the rich problem.
I'd normally go somewhere else to get this kind of thing figured out, but its free at the dealership.
