First pass in the 5's...woohoo Windmill and I went to Huntsville Dragway yesterday for one more chance at a 5 second slip before the season is over. Finally reached my goal of a 1/8 mile pass in the 5's. The air was great and the track was great.
I'm beyond pleased with this car. If you'd told me years ago I'd have a car that would run like this, especially for what I have in it, I would've laughed.

I appreciate it. It's been a LONG time coming lol.
The air was great yesterday. I wanted it on a 100 shot so bad I couldn't stand it and went 6.04 and 6.03 on the 53 jet, but just wasn't comfortable leaning on it anymore.
So I put the 150 jets it, -9 plug and only ran 20 degrees timing to get the 5.98.
I think it has at least some 5.80's in it with the looks of the plug, it was a little fat lol

N/A is 13:1 AFR
I was trying to run a -7 plug and even pulling 10 degrees couldn't get a fuel ring with as high as 7# FP....
After talking with Monte Smith and Steve Johnson it turns out the plug was too hot and "cleaning" itself off. I went to a -8 plug and instant fuel ring. I was able to lean on it and every thing look good. I picked the car up almost 3/10 by going to the colder plug.
I'm now a firm believer in "every motor is different"
The tune up with the 63 jet was just a guess and its obviously fat. I think with some more tuning the car will get faster

Man I have plotted and plotted. I cant see it in vid, but I am listening. What would you recommend? Raising front? lowering front? Lower or raising rear? I can do about anything. My antisquat was a little more than Kevin Slaby wanted, but not much. My IC was a little longer too, but I had it all close. Dont mean to hi jack his thread, you can pm me, or post it in my thread.
