Default It just keeps going faster.

Went racin again last night and the truck continued to pick up. I went out in the first round (bulbed) but i still got 3 real good passes out of the truck.

I dont know if it was due to the timing or not though. The temperature was about 30 degrees cooler than last time out, but it was very humid. The D.A. was around 1000', same as last time out. I bumped the timing from 29* to 33*. I run it locked out all the way from 800rpms. Here are the slips, tell me what ya think.

Last nights slip.

60' 1.831
330' 4.975
1/8 7.592
MPH 93.27
1000' 9.89
1/4 11.855
MPH 114.3

Slip from previous best run

60' 1.885
330' 5.085
1/8 7.725
MPH 91.37
1000' 10.03
1/4 11.998
MPH 114.14

Pretty substantial drop in the 60' from what I see. Did you change the suspension?

nope, not at all. Like i said earlier, i dont know if it was the temperature or the timing it liked. It felt much stronger in the lower RPM than before.

whatever you want to know, just ask. I love helping out anyone doing a swap, if it werent for people willing to shed experienced adviced, my swap would have taken much longer than it did.
