Default made some n/a passes

Went out in the humidity last night (+2605 DA) and finally got the thing to hook a little.......ran a 11.6 @ 120mph, 1.75 60ft. Car is full weight (only AIR & EGR removed) plus the iron block, no2 system, wolfe 6pt, 9" rear, 3" steel DS, full spohn mild steel suspension yada yada. Toss my 210lbs in and it's gettin up on 2 tons! Once I get it more consistent n/a then it's time to crack the bottle open and hang on!

Hope so, just need some more seat time. Can't wait to see what good air will do!

nice ride. looks like your launch could use some practice, though. that's a stout setup, but i would expect more from that engine. great looking car, btw.

Thanks, definitely need more seat time to get the launch where it should be.
It's a brand new set up and isn't 100% dialed in yet, but I'm happy with the power it's making. Good timeslips don't come very easily around here, the conditions really suck. Pretty common to see full bolt-on cars trapping 105-108mph. A local 402ci car with AFR's & 244/248 cam making 500rwhp in a lighter car is consistently running 11.30's at 123mph. For what mine is, I'm pleased!
