I don't think I seen him. But then again I was not paying attention to anything else but what I was doing.

There was a nice gray or black coupe a few cars down from us. It was a low 10 sec car also.

I put a Quick Fuel 850 carb on it this past week and went through the rockers again due to a posi lock coming loose.

1st pass was a 10.17@130 and backed it up with a 10.18@130. The plugs looked a little lean so we jetted it up and it slowed down to 10.30@129. I also got out of the groove.

It looks like you're making more power since the et slowed, but the speed stayed and mentioned that got out the groove. Keep working on it and don't give up!

Congrats on the numbers. Is this a track only car or street/strip? What fuel are you using since I see the 12.5:1 compression?

Sweet car! Sounded like it needed some more rpms on the launch, would the track not hold it?

Yeah Rob, I plan on going. If it had less gear I would drive it to the SS some weekend.

I'm running cam2. 110 octane leaded. I plan on switching to E-85 late in the year or next year.

It seams to respond well to launching at 3K rather than 4K. but we need to play with the launch more to really see what it likes. I would like to try 4500 rpm's and see what it does. The car hooks pretty good. It has new skins on it.
