Default Got me an 8.0007 1/8 and a new PB!

12.37 @ 113.15 in the 1/4 tonight. CRAPPY CRAPPY track prep and 1.90 60' Good air!





BTW. . . STOCK STOCK engine, SLP CAI & lid, Flowtech cheapy LTs w/ some decent 3" true duals (forgot the name brand), Random Tech T/A set to -2.0 (might need to tweak it), BMR adj. PHR for centering, Lakewood boxed LCAs, Convo Pro 15x8.5s with 28x11.5x15 ET Streets & a line lock for warmin' them up.

STOCK engine! Never even opened the valve covers. Full interior with 3/4 tank (didn't know yesterday when filling I would be racing tonight).

What do you shift at? I've looked at my torque curve here and guesstimated that shifting at 5600-5700 works and it drops me right into about 4400-4500 every time. That way the torque is not completely flatened out. Thoughts?

Nice time Duff. Love the stock motor running idea, I'm doing the same. We are proof that it is not all about adding power. I have had to change a valve cover gasket tho'.

BUMP! ! ! Where should I shift at? Currently I'm shifting about 5800ish. I'm wanting to launch at about 4000-4200 and have the nitrous kick in about 4600ish. With the shift at 5800, is that a good point? Thanks
