Thanks

We think we can click off some 5.7's tomorrow night, it spun alittle on the 5.82 pass and we have it leaving on 20% of the shot, Tomorrow night the track should be better and we will be able to leave alittle harder

Those are nice results. It is indeed time for a diet and some 5.50s.

Thanks guys

we took it to BMP today for a grudge race and ended up with a NPB again.
This was the first full 1/4 hit on the setup

1.368 60ft
3.764 330ft
5.795@120.98
7.552 1,000ft
9.050@149.62

This tune up was alittle softer than we have been running in the 1/8, This being the first full hit i pulled an extra few degrees out. the thing didnt have enough timming in it to do a good burn out the motor just didnt have enough power to keep them spinning lol

O and we won the grudge race, It was a Gbody smallblock on two kits
