Default Finally making progress on my car...... New personal best: Pic and Vid

Made 4 total passes on the car. Only 1 pass was with ME driving.. the others were with a fella that has had a bit more practice than me.

From Friday night at Dale....


BBC on the bumper........

Me banging the rev limiter in 1st gear a few times and running a new best in the car... and a new best for the car after the shocks were tightened up a bit more....

Overall sending the car to RPM was the best decision I have made yet. They really did the right things to make the car fly.

I have to say that RPM and SQR are by far the best places in Dallas Fort Worth for LS1's..... Great shops both of them.

The bumper is fine just has some rubber and minor scuffs. I looked at the sya bars and they seemed fine and didn't move granted just with the light provided. . I made an adjustment up front and it definately helped significantly. Hopefully the car hits the track with its current setting and a full bottle. It should move and 60 ft should come down closer to its best of 1.32

I have made 4 full passes so far this year on the jug.

6.52 then, 6.42, then 6.39 and then a 6.23.........

car should be a bit faster depending on bottle pressure. It also is on one stage. I might put another one on it if I can keep it off a wall and it lasts until next Spring.

should be fun.

I need some wheel screws for my rims, a NANO system, a tuning SUITE, and some travel limiters before I put the second kit on. Next year MAYBE.....
