Freaking place was packed!! I was only able to make 2 run....45 min. in the staging lane each time...screw that!
No 7's tonight.....first run spinning badly in 1st was a 8.14 @87.77 with a nasty 1.92 60' .I was running 18 psi. in the tires,left at 3k and I forget to loosen up the struts(
)
Next pass was a 8.08 @89.72 still spinning badly to a 1.91 60'. 18 psi. struts on #2.
Nothing broke, so all in all everything went ok. Once I was able to get into 2nd the car felt very good. I know this thing has a good 2-3 tenths in it...maybe more. I want to play around with the air pressure and launching rpm's when its not so crowded .

I swear I'm a dumb ***! After looking at the instructions for the struts I realized I adjusted them the wrong way! Anyway, I hope to get back to the track next Sat. afternoon .
Yeah, I would love to get in on one!
best thing to do is get in on a track rental, thats what we do

Man that sucks, you're selling the motor and stuff. Well, it happens. I am selling my car after I get it running( or if the price is right as it sits ). What are you going to do now?

Thanks guys. It's been a long while since I have updated this post. I'll give a quick run-down as to it's current stage.
As of right now the car is tore apart (again) for paint.I have sold the LS1 and the T56. I have a 6.0 and a Th350 that will be taking there place. The 6.0 is a stock LQ4. I have a new set of L92 heads and a L76 intake that I'm fixing to throw on it. I just ordered my cam, springs,pushrods,timing chain and head gaskets this morning from Texas Speed. Pretty much all I have left to buy are a shifter, converter and throttle body. I do have another 6.0 shortblock that I plan on building after I get this set-up running.

I have a th400 and I am using the quarter stick with the pistol grip and the botton on top. My converter is a TCS4500. I have not got it in yet, so I'm not real sure on how to rout the cable, but I hope to be at that point by early sept.
We are hanging the rods on the pistons tonight and then putting it together Thursday night.

Here are a couple pics I took last week. They are from my cell phone , so the quality is not that great. I did get my converter and throttle body last week though. I was trying to get it ready to go to the LXS shootout next month, but it doesn't look like that going to happen. I guess I'll take the wife instead.
