Talking New best

Went out to put my ailing tranny out of its misery tonight and ended up with a new best of 12.49 @ 114.8 w/1.98, then hooked a little better and a 12.46 @ 112.8 w/1.97!

Can't wait to see what this thing will do when the new rear gets here and then the tranny/convertor!

The rear goes in Wed. afternoon. Hopefully by next week I can have a Vig 3600 here - then the tranny will get rebuilt and the convertor will go in!

My goal is to get kicked out of Capitol before winter sets in!

I can't get a bar yet (need !teenager from back seat mod), so I'll have to slow it down to a 12.00 car to bracket race next season! I'll probably make an easy to use throttle stop by drilling and tapping the arm.

I'll have to come down to see you guys to really see what it will do in the spring!

I just want to say that I went 11's in my full weight, daily driven, street car by doing nothing other than opening the cutout!
