Default 1 more new best
I went out yesterday for some more testing. I upped the shot to the 250 but still didn't have my TR8's yet. The car has a bit of surge on the top end,meaning more to come. I just pulled more timing for the day.

I finally master a 1.44 60ft ,my best 2 weeks ago was 1.37. I tried launching off the brake once but the track just couldn't hold it.

well the good news

9.80 @ 138 w/ 1.44 60ft. off footbrake

I wish I could have seen at least my 1.37 60ft or better and seen a 9.6X....NEXT TIME

vids coming soon

Larry

thanks guys

I can't wait to make a full good hooking clean pass.

I was running a 200shot before and 250 will be the most for this year.
The plan is to go with GEN7 and a killer dry fogger setup for next season

yes sir! I need more usable rpm. My cam peaks at 7100rpm,so I need to shift it higher and the Gen7 will help with that.

Bos..I can't wait to launch and hook off the brake

PSJ..The car weighed 3548 with the 20/18 rim combo. i have not reweighed the car yet. I would have to assume -100 lb's with the Bogarts.

George & Kieth ...thanks

EVIL..This is my personal 96 LT1 car 383/N20 setup
