Looks like it came down pretty well. Since you didn't seem to bounce much I assume that you had the struts pretty stiff.

What was the time on that pass???

Looks kinda scary Mike, you are a MAN for staying in it. haha. Sorry I missed your phone calls, but it looks like you got the vid hosted anyways.

Not bad for a 12-second car!

Thanks everyone. Nothing broke when it came down, the front QA1's were set on 4 and it scraped the FACTORY K-MEMBER a little bit. This was not on the 10 bolt rear, it now has a 12 bolt/3.73 and it's not finishing the 1/4 on the N2o(listen to rev limiter at end). I can't say just yet what it ran because a select few locals want a piece of my little stock motored LS1. But I will tell everyone before I do build a motor. Even if I did say I don't know if anyone would believe me

What RPM do you trap at?
I'm trying to figure out what gear I need.(TH400 conversion)
I was planning on going with a 4.10.(27x11.5 QTPfor motor,29x10 Hoosier drag for nitrous)but maybe a 3.73.

Thanks
