The color looks a bit odd due to the flash of the camera.

Default NEW BEST 11/3 @ Cordova

We had another new best with my fathers car.

NA
1.56
11.63
116.5 mph

N20 175 shot...previous 150 shot
1.48
10.63
127.9 mph

had a best of 1.44 60ft.... stock rear and trans

We are very happy concidering we had a 1-2 shift issue on the jug that caused some plug damage. I noticed it was down on the 2nd pass and most likely it had damaged plugs after the first pass being we had the same issue. I am sure the car had a little more in it with a full clean pass.

swapping on some heads this coming weekend and if our weather holds out track next weekend

I think if we can get a good track and air it will go 10.3's

Congrats guys!! How are you getting the stock trans to live? Are you keeping some TM in the car, big cooler etc? Are the stock gears and not revving the **** out of it helping?
Very nice job!

we can't wait either for the heads

stock trans
-keep fluids changed
-24,000 cooler
-fingers crossed

rearend is a stock
-3.23
-keep fluids changed
-fingers crossed every pass

We know at some point we will have to ring FLT for a trans. The rear makes a tad bit of noise on coast, but otherwise it's good. This is the 3rd season with 1.50 or better 60 ft times. I just delay the hit on N20 by 1-2 hundred RPM and make sure the chassis is loaded....IT WORKS

Congrats Larry. I got another 10 bolt with a 3.73 & Auburn from WickedLS1, so I am going to try and make a few more passes before the snow hits. I am hoping for a 1.4X 60 ft and 11.4X e.t.

Larry, I will let you know on the tune. My main concern is to get the car back up and running 100%, and then I will call you. Prolly next week or the one after.
