That's .09 difference in ET with a 108" wheelbase car. If you were 1.30 with the back tires, it would have had to 60' a 1.21 +/- .01. Doesn't seem very realistic does it?

EDIT: or did I mis-read your post and you meant to say it was a 1.30 60' up on the back tires, but not breaking the 60' clocks with the backs, rather the front tires?
I'm not sure if it broke the 60' clocks with the front or rear tires, but the both other passes than day were 1.26 60's. A few people told me it appeared to go past the 60' mark on the rear tires...but I don't know.

Also, the 9.80s the car ran was on the first outing to the track. These pics were taken the second time out at an 1/8 mile track. Those passes would have probably been 9.6's in the 1/4.

I'd stay it got something that hangs low up front (headers, transmission pan etc.)

From what I've seen you'll lose ~.09 in the 60 ft. if you get it with the back tires. My dad had 1.41's (normally 1.32's) and our buddy had 1.45's (normally 1.36's) and I think I jumped over the 60 ft. beams once and had a 1.344 (was 1.26's that day).

It's a VFN hood. Thanks for the compliments.
