How many passes did you get out of it? I've got almost the same setup as you -some bolt on's... I"m hoping to get a few passes out of the stocker as I plan on dumping it at 5500-6000

That is impressive, and a good advertisement for a driveshaft loop. I hope you had one. That will make a nice conversation piece.

SPEEDYws6- I have around 50 passes on the car. That was about the 5th pass were is dead hooked.

Yeah I had a DS loop in the car. It held everything in one place until it quit wipping around.

The car would do consistant mind 12.50's at 108ish. That was on a 1.8X 60ft. The best 60ft. has been a 1.77 but I missed 4th on that run.

Hehe, I wish it was just coffee. I was running around to pull him through the water box and them watch him go. It also didn't help that there were 6 or 7 freakin people in the timing box where I took the video.

Chris, we still goin to the Finals in Vegas this weekend or what? Call me!

No more Aluminum for me. .095" wall Steel with 1350 Yokes all around.

1scrudedude- Yeah that would be a pucker factor of 10 if that was to happen.

I never got good launches by dumping my clutch anyway, I will always slip some.

That must suck anyway, sorry to see it.
