Default New best

Had a great time at The EFA shootout. I didn't get a new best ET, but did manage a new best mph. Ran 11.40 @ 123.04 mph. This was on a 1.65 60'. Last week my car wouldn't go straight, so I put my stock springs and shocks back on. I went straight but need to work on getting that 60' down. My TEA heads like the TR 230/224 cam, and I'm making more power than I did when I ran 11.33. I just need to hook it up.

Nice MPH!

123.04 mph is flying. Get that thing to hook and you have the possibility to run high 10's.
