glad they worked for you Darren i really think they will help your 60ft ....6spd just need a little more sidewall ....

Thanks again Tom, I'm gonna try to make it to Byron on Sat. I'm with Larry, you need to tell the boss you need the day off to do a little test and tune.

Looks like it's working man, nice job!

I'm sure the converter is close, if it was a mile off it wouldn't be working as good as it is. Maybe bump it a little looser, or just try leaving harder, or on the brake, and you may be good to go!

Nice. When I was running my car n/a the best I ever got from it was a 10.54@127, but it was a portly 3550 at the time.

I'm gonna be curious to see what it does, albiet the nitrous converter and gearing change once I have it down to 2900 where it should be. Should be intresting

Will do. If I get it back out with the current motor just freshened up, it should be about 2900 wth me in it

Looking at building a bigger motor vs what I can sell the current motor for vs what it will cost me to solid roller the current motor and a couple other upgrades while I have it apart. Not sure what the best route is to take right now, but if another alum motor goes in the car it's gonna be a 2900 lb car when it's done. I have 275 lbs worth of parts sitting here right now already and haven't bought the front suspension yet!

Car looks great Tom. I just watched your new vid too. I look like a BADASS watching your car pulling off the trailer. Get a hold of me later I'm still trying to decide if I should go with front shocks or a stiff walled slick.

Nice runs, should make some more solid passes after the new suspension and coming off the trans brake.
