Default Dang it!!!

12.05 @ 118+ on a 100 shot.

I just missed it tonight. I left the car running for about 45 minutes prior to this pass because I didn't have a bottle heater (I was placing the bottle under the car near the exhaust for a makeshift bottle heater) I had a full tank of fuel and only adequate bottle pressure when I made this pass. Just a few gallons of fuel less and I would have been there. Heck, I probably would have had it if I had let the car cool down instead of hot lapping it. I'm getting a bottle heater and I'm getting in the 11s the next time out. Even if I have to stick the 150 jets in

1.93 on that pass (bfg drag radials) The only noticable wheel spin was at the 1-2 shift.. not bad though. I have the 100 shot set up with a msd window switch kicking on at 3000 and off at 5800. If I set the on rpm at 2800 that would probably have done it as well.
My bottle pressure would have made the difference too if it would have been just a bit higher. Excuses excuses........ Oh well, I already have a 3500 tci stall that I have not installed yet. That will do the trick for sure. I just don't want to scatter the rear.
