nice pass. just curious, what stall is that?

my bolt on car went the exact same time - 7.71 @ 88.xx on a 60' that was a tenth slower. but i had 373 gears, maybe that's the dif. i never got a 1.5x 60' out of it, i bent the stock tq arm and i think that had a negative affect on the car's ability to get below 1.65.

Where was that wire cut at. I just found a spot like that not too far from the battery on my car. Just curious what kind of problems that was causing.

The way I ran the wire is buy the header after a yr of sitting I didn't remember how it ran so where I ran it buy the header .the header melted the lining of the wife and was contacting with the header causing a short my gauges would go crazy and then the car would cut out and blew a few fuses were the main power hooks up to the fuse box gona take it again in a few weeks see if I can get it to a 7.6 with out it cuttting off after little half track

7's is fun territory. I remember being stuck in the 8.2 range, there is always that one thing your missing to get to 7's. For me it was tire pressure, and flashing the converter instead of stalling it up.

I had a PTC 3200
A TSP 228R 114lsa
Nitto NT05R
and 3:73's

It ran 7.30-7.40's on the limiter.
