New 1/8 times today, first time on sticky tires...

Well the car ran what I wanted it to but that was all nothing more. I was having a bad problem with the 2-3 shift, I would bounce off the rev-limiter like crazy, and there was nothing I could do about it. I had the gears changed a few days ago and the speedo hasn't been calibrated yet so I'm hoping after tuning and getting the tranny to shift right I can improve my times. Anyway the car went 7.748 @ 89.372 with a 1.78 60ft. Will fixing the 2-3 shift and tuning the car (runs lean upto 4500rpm's and pig rich after that) improve these times and mph much? I think there is at least .2 from fixing the shifting problem and tuning.

Nice runs today. I think with the tune and shifting problem you will be happier with the car. Hey look, you still drove the car home. Nothing wrong there. Now I need to go and bust open the piggie bank. That converter was mighty impressive.
