Brian(Fireball) Testing Drag radial @ Cecil Made 2 hits on the new converter, very promising MPH, same tuneup very fat. Backed down the launch RPM to start fresh on the new converter which was tightened dramatically. Went 8.3 @ 181 with a 1.53 60'. He is starting to creep up the leave RPM to get the first 330' inline. First pass was a 1.75 60'. Added alittle on the leave RPM came back with a 1.53. Next pass the car should be back in the 1.30s. We could see a 7 second pass out of the little Virginia Speed Built 366" turbo motor next shot out.

Still fighting an ignition-related problem at 7500 rpm (breaks up)...this pretty much has mph limited the car at the traps...probably would've been 185-186 on the last run 
New converter is MUCH TIGHTER
all runs were 25psi peak...and guess what...didn't appear to push any water...who said you can't seal a 4-bolt head
First run....
60'-1.696
330-4.144
1/8-5.972
mph-140.21
1000-7.524
1/4-8.814
mph 180.43
run two...more rpm (more boost) on launch
60'-1.502
330-3.732
1/8-5.526
mph-142.64
1000-7.064
1/4-8.351
mph-181.13
run 3 (a little more rpm on footbrake and transbrake)
60'-1.496
330-3.675
1/8-5.444
mph-144.55
1000-6.973
1/4-8.256
mph-181.35

First run (don't laugh too hard about the launch...how the hell did it accelerate to 180 mph?)
