New best:6.61@102.65 1.42 60' Long... Little list of mods:
th-400 rmvb t-brake,3800ssf
G5 cam
150 wet kit
4.10's in a 8.8 in rear
BMR tq. arm, subframe ties(tubular)
weld pro stars 15x10(28x11.5x15)15x3.5's up front
and some other bolt ons...lid, exhaust etc...
Stock(untouched) heads(241),tb,springs,shocks,rear swaybar
Anyway, I cut a 1.42 60' stalling it up to about 2000 at the line. I can't be more happy about that, but leaves me wondering what it will do once I get the t-brake wired up to work with the nitrous. I havn't had traction issues with the th-400 yet until tonight when I spun a little on one of my nitrous passes, spun it to a 1.54 60' and ended up with a 6.78 e/t. When I launched motor only on the t-brake, I spun both times so I know now that I will have to do some more to the suspension to get it to hook when I launch off the t-brake and nitrous. I see some 1.3's in my future, but that will have to wait until next year as I also plan to take some weight out of it and add a cage. Going to try to get race weight down to 3100 or less. I am shooting for some low sixes next year now that the car has been woken up with the th-400. The 6-speed was fun, but I am pretty I traded my M6 setup for this th-400 setup. Thanks for reading. Anyone with any predictions what it'll run off the t-brake and nitrous?

. Any motor passes??Yeah, a couple of motor passes, but didn't hook cause I was using the t-brake. Man that thing hits hard. Best was a 7.48 with a slippery 60'. Didn't even try to launch off the t-brake with the nitrous.
