New Best again Shifting T56 to 9.35 @ 146 - 1.3360ft

Got to travel to Maryland again to try a few more passes - Weather not as great as last time and had a strong head wind... But managed a new best again with 2 new best 60fts.. 1.33/1.34 leaving at 6k and bringing in sparay slightly sooner. Anyway pulled a 9.35 @ 146 - I am pretty sure less head wind I may have been a 9.29sh.. I think this combo is pretty maxed out and effecient.

Still street clutch - Spec 3BTW.

Just picked up a Turbo400 for cheap with converter so this race may be over for me - seems like a crime to pull this manual out being I have it working well, but it will always stay close in garage.

I don't know if yours is the firebird I saw at MIR today. If it was, great looking car and very hard launching. I only saw 1 pass, but it appeared you were having problems and shut it down after 2nd gear.

Wow 1.3 60s with a t56, VERY impressive. Keep the stick! Your car is the red firebird right? If so im sub'd to you on youtube, your car is really entertaining to see go down the track!

Yeah, That's mine! Thank You!
Not sure yet for how long it will go Auto - Was going to 2 stage it and play in the 8s for a little with the M6 - But think I am going to shot for 7s with a turbo motor and the Auto.. Not sure what my plans are really yet..lol Well see.. I am certain I will slow down a little with the Auto in this combo.

Taner, Nice! Another Steelers fan in Canada - injurys killing us now, but we just picked Plexico back up, Hope he does not shot himself in the Junk again.
