That's a great outing! I'd love to have that 60'. How much boost did you leave the line with and how much total boost? What fuel and how much timing? That last slip is my goal with my car. Hoping to see one of those this year.

That's awesome! Do you have any numbers when you were running 10ish pounds?

Nice. I ran mine and had similar mph for 13lbs was 141mph. I need to get my 60' down though, 1.44 isn't going to cut it.

How much does your car weigh? I weighed mine friday and was 3610 with a full tank of gas and me in it.

Swapped camshafts from an LS6 to a mild custom spec by BTR.

back at the track no new best, but I equalled my best MPH with 3 pounds less boost, Oh and it was about 40 degrees hotter out.

here was a awesome pic my wife shot.
