Not a big improvement but about all I can expect from the car in it's current configuration. Played with the tire pressure, and launch. Car felt like it dead hooked. Time to get the converter out of the garage, and in the car. Changes from last time at the track were, ! back seats. Had a little less than 1/2 a tank of gas. Car weighed 3585 lbs with me in it on MIR's digital scales.


60' - 1.84
1/8 - 8.074
mph - 87.21
1/4 - 12.58
mph - 109.51

Not too bad. It would have been better if the sun had come out and warmed it up a bit. Track was cold.
