Hi Doug

1st you will need better tires , i have tried all of these drag radials, they are not the right ones for you. good on streets, thatīs all
ET street dot 16" or 17" i recomend... my best 60īs is 1.63 and no trackbite here and itīs pretty cold here in Iceland

as soon as you hit 1.7 - 1.6 in 60īs. your 1/8 and 1/4 will drop down to low 11īs high 10īs , and your trap speed @ 1/8 and 1/4 will get higher.
I say when your 60ft falls to 1.65 then 10.9x@129 easy , just as soon as you get better grip(tires), and then you can go lower from there.

About the gearing, iīm not sure if mn6 vs. mn12 which are better for drag-performance whith the 402ci n/A but
MN6 and MN12 hve the same 4th gear, but the mn6 have the first 3 gears a bit higher...
4th gear
3.42 is 138mh@6300rpm
3.73 is 133mph@6300rpm
3.90 is 127mph@6300pm
4.10 is 121mph@6300rpm

i think 3.90 and 4.10 are not the right gears if yo are gona bang 130 + @ trap

Doug you car is a monster....

iīm hoping for 10.9xx next summer whith bigger Fast + th.body/Maf and another gearing

best 1/4 this summer
11.52@122.6 60ft 1.67 1/8 7.4@97
but last time i went I took best in 1/8mile race 7.28@97 , 60ft 1.63 Itīs i think 11.3x-11.4x @1/4 mile race

Will be fun to hear what changin clutch and suspension will do for you

good luck Doug
