Default New best at HMP last night!

We got knocked out in the semifinals for the 7.00 index class so we decided to throw the 150 jets in and see what she will do. We were a little skeptical because the car hasnt been tuned with the nitrous but we decided that we were just going to make one pass: The first pass was
60; 1.435
330; 4.2021
1/8; 6.5503
MPH; 105.68

After that, we had to do it again. The car launched real hard and straight, it was a great run. So we decided to make one more pass to back up our first run. Second pass was
60; 1.448
330; 4.212
1/8; 6.5837
MPH; 103.62

So we were pretty happy with the results. Were going to try and get it tuned this week and see what it will do at next weekends race.

My old trans...Man I miss that thing! Still putting down the ET's!!!

man yall got some nice parts in that car.

Mines coming around finally. Shortblock and heads are being done and hopefully finished and paid for by X-mas. Then its time to put together the turbo setup.

Should be an interesting 07 season for me, thats for sure.

Very nice!!! Congrats on the new best. I wish I could have been there.

You guys just might be right on top of that 6.60 class if S&S and HMP make it happen

We were thinking about running at Judgement Day in Sealy but we might not have time to get it tuned and were iffy on running quarter mile. We will be out there to watch though...
