Alright folks here you go , a little long but so was the journey!

Thanks first, Christ my savior, Dave V., Cam H., Wayne G., Greg at FTI, Lorenz, Brett, JL, Brian J., and many more. (sorry if I forgot anyone)

Pass 1
New converter, going to 3825 on the TB, window switch set at 4k. I let off the TB, car falls on its face . I go back and check the log and then , DUH... car never saw 4k so it didn't spray, I thought something else was wrong

Pass 2
1.38 60ft
3.982 330
6.18 1/8
111.57 mph
8.086 1000ft
9.70 1/4
139.39 mph
So I was happy with a new PB but car spun. MPH was up over 2mph so power was promising!

Pass 3 (loosened up the front to full loose and pulled two degrees on the hit, Thanks Cam)
1.36 60ft
3.963 330
6.15 1/8
111.66 mph
8.063 1000ft
9.68 1/4
139.41 Mph
Pulled the plugs, running too lean so I remember what Dave told me a while back. Sometimes try adding fuel and if it picks up it wanted it, if it slows it didn't. So I went back and added some fuel. 48 jet, put in a 50 jet and left timing alone.

Pass 4
1.31 60ft I was sooooo excited about that!!!!
3.897 330
6.08 1/8 I was stoked to finally be in the 6.0 club
112.04 mph
7.985 1000ft
9.59 1/4
139.79 Mph

After the new best 60ft, 1/8 et and mph, 1/4 et and mph I swapped my tires back over, loaded up the car and drove her home! Better weather here we come!!!

Temp was 73
DA 1046
RW 3335

@Zmg00camaross - Thanks man! Exhaust is super cheap. 2.5 pipe straight off the headers with bullets and dumps. Cheap but effective, sure beats having to swap exhaust like I used to.

Same FTI I've always had, just had Greg freshen and tighten it up. Changed the pump also. Was going to 4520 on the TB, now 3825. Made a huge difference.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I'm not done until still she blows. The SBE record is sitting at a 9.34 so that is my obvious next goal however who knows, it might be lower before I get there. Either way I'm gonna keep trying new things to get faster. It sure would be nice to be at 3000 even or better
