Did some TnT at RPR last night... Did a little T&T last night. Air was great (-617'), track was slick as baby snot... I kept blowing the tires off pass after pass, no matter how easy I launched. Finally I got one full pass it didn't spin on, although it was a VERY soft launch as you'll see here..
This was in full street trim, just trying to test the new converter. I had way better air this time but combined with that and the new converter, it seems to have picked up 5 mph... Although with the soft 1.55 60' compared to last trip out 1.35 60', the mph may be a tad inflated.... I guess we'll see next weekend at the rental.. The converter is still way loose, tightens up nicely after the 1/4 traps though..LOL... I may pull it back out and send it in for tightening after the next week's rental. I still think it is eating up too much power down the track... Notice the shift light(6700) on before the 1000' mark in high gear...LOL
This was street trim, still running thru the air filter, pump gas, street tune, 15* timing...
Next week at the Texas Invitational rental, it will be on kill... Maybe see 152 or more if I get some more good air and a track that hooks.
The battle continues...

^^^Click in the red part and it will take you to the youtube vid. Nice run man and I agree the converter sounds too loose. I think RPR has a good pic of your car on there FB page.

After the rental on the 26th, I MAY pull the converter out for the 3rd time and have it tightened a bit... Still on the fence.
I have about another 60-70hp I can put in it (velocity stack, Q16, timing) and see if it picks up any more mph or just drives through the converter more...
Main problem right now is traction though. Hopefully we will have better prep next sunday. The car normally goes 1.35 60's.... Last night 1.55....

No seriously, last night they just stuck their head in and asked if I had a roll cage and I said yes, then she asked if I had a license and I said no.... They said slow it down or work on license passes... I just headed home.
On private rentals, they don't mess with you about safety BS..

Congrats on the new PB. Was cool talking to you out there Friday night and seeing your car.
Was curious if there are any more openings for the rental? I sure would like to try and get my 10.90 motor pass and then see how close I can come to a 9.90 on the 150 shot. Weather forecast shows to be nice for the weekend after Friday.

. Thanks man.. Its nothing like your monster but... It's exceeded my original goals for it so.....I'm pretty happy with it..
. Nice talking with you as well.. The rental was only open for 30 cars and has been booked solid for a month. However there may be some "no shows" and maybe you could get in as a stand by. Not sure.. Go to www.texasspeedsyndicate.com and contact Amar and see what he says about openings.
Weather is questionable for fri/sat, Sunday is looking good though.. If it is nice Friday night, I'll be at the Lowes show. We'll see ya up there.
Thanks Bill! One of my goals was 150 mph on pump gas thru the air filter...so it did that.. I'd like to see 152-153mph on kill... Hoping for good air Sunday.
yeah a little here, little there.. And a lot of work in between. See ya Sunday..

Same here, as long as it's decent and my new wires get here I will be up there... and another raccoon doesn't get into a transformer here.. that made a mess here for the last few days.
