Default Broke 100mph!

Third trip to the track with my semi new car. Ran a best of 13.55 at 96, 8.73 at 82.3mph 1/8. I blew the 3-4 shift so my mph sucked and I lost a fraction of et. Had a 2.07 60' which is my best yet. Clutch was definitely frying out of the hole on that pass. Don't think it has too many passes like that left in it so the rest of the night I just popped it and spun off the line to conserve it. Best mph was 103.2. I just added my home brew 160 thermo, man fan switch which will get it to 160. Lid, filter, home ported tb were existing mods. All else stock. Weather conditions were terrible so I'm hoping to crack 105-106 once it cools off and I get a new clutch.

Street tires. With 80k on the clock, I don't want to push my luck too hard. I'm eyeballing a 9" setup or maybe even an 8 3/4" setup for when she craters.

Wow impressive. I'm hitting 13.5 sec. 1/4 mile at 106 mph. Of course my 60' time sucks. Surprised your mph isn't higher, as my car was trapping 104 w/ about the same amount of mods.
