Default Black Mariah's maiden voyage...

This is in my son's car we just finished...https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...ld-thread.html

Finally got it down the track tonight...prep sucked (Fri T&T) and the DA was 2260! (80* and 95% humidity).
Managed a 1.67 60' (spinning) 7.44 @ 93.46 (up to my expectations considering the conditions).
I was using my buddy's 4+yo 16" M/T which I think was part of the hooking problem and the tune needs some work too...it was short shifting the 1-2 and bouncing off the limiter on the 2-3.
New 15" tires to go on the racestars are on order. I think with the bugs worked out, new tires, and some decent DA it will be in the 6.90's (not to mention there is at least another couple of hundred pounds to come out )

Just lost 13.2# in 30 min. (wish I could do that ie. driver mod.)
Two heat shields, washer bottle, and upper panhard bar.

I've heard both...what is the actual function in a "straight-line" only application?

Saw my tuner yesterday and worked out the 1-2 and 2-3 shifting.
Installed new tires and rims on back.
Now back to the track......
