Default 3rd round of progress: 346" N/A 10.4 @ 132.4

Tonight we went to MIR looking for some decent air and its getting there. We had initally thought the DA was going to be under 500' tonight but the conditions just were not there. We were looking to be close to 0' altitude and blast some deep 10 second runs but we're still moving in the right direction. I only made a handful of passes. Here's the best one....
DA 875'
60' 1.51
1/8 6.7 @ 104
1/4 10.4 @ 132.4

We're pretty excited at the current progress, the 10.4 @ 132 puts us @ 10.2 @ 133.5 @ 0' DA. Some good air and more tuning will hopefully get us into the 9s all motor.

very cool. but the nhra correction factor is kinda cheesy isnt it? you arent a s/e car going for records.

in any event, awesome to see a fast n/a vette

Not really, its a very good way to track progress. I know last night when we had the same tuneup it ran exactly what it should have. When we bumped the tuneup it went alittle quicker. IMO if your really into tracking progress and dialing in your car its a great tool to always be able to compare to a baseline number. My first pass was on the orginal tune from last week was 10.35 NHRA corrected while the tuneup with more timing and less fuel dropped another .13. We will see the DA fall in the next few weeks to somewhere around -1200'.
