Default first time at a 1/4 mile track



first time at a big track. Ran at a few 1/8th mile tracks but have to say this was a blast. May have a bit more left in cause this was during the day and it was kinda of muggy. Sorry Im in the left lane car #521

That is some strong MPH. You car is making good power.

thanks, I wished it would do some 10s. I think its got some 11 in the teens but I highly doubt it would go in the 10s. Im on the fence about a fast 90 or 92 just dont want to give that kinda of money for a intake for a tenth. Its also running a little rich.

I didnt tune it so to me its real conservative. The 1-2 shifts around 6 and the 2-3 shifts around 6300. I think it could be leaned up and shift points adj some but I love the cam seems to make plenty of power down low. With this stall I have it pulls hard from a roll and dig. Best 60ft so far is a 1.51

that was at bowling green ky at the holley ls fest. Ive got two 1/8th mile tracks to go to in my area. One is jackson tn and the other is sikeston mo. they both about 45min drive. what sucks is I live about 4 miles from a 1/8th mile track and its closed.

I bet Holley's LS Fest was great!

I didn't know if you were close to Chattanooga or not. I guess you are closer to the the west side of TN. I am north of Atlanta and 45 minutes from Paradise Dragway in Calhoun, GA & 1 hour/20 minutes from Brainerd Optimist Dragway in Ringold, GA, both 1/8 mile tracks.

I was just curious where you ran at. It doesn't look like I will be getting my drag wheels/slicks this season, so I was thinking of maybe doing some shakedown runs on the street 555's.
