Fun side note. You’ll see my dad in our stock internal 6speed lines up against me
will post other two time slips as well. Had one go 120.98pmh but these two other runs it hit the limiter on 1-2 shift so it slightly slowed down even though it mph more. All runs were in the 11.2s at 120+
Installed Detroit speed 1in hollow drag bar before I went to the track. It added 2lbs to the rear but it was the best compromise between weight and performance I could find. I didn’t want a big heavy drag bar, but based on my 60ft time and it launching strait as an arrow I think it definitely did it’s job.
Installed TA performance girdle to give the poor 10-bolt a little moral support. The pinion seal is leaking some so it was throwing oil all over the tunnel so I cleaned that up while I was under there as well.
Looking good, I switched my rear end cover to a TA one when I did my gear swap, its piece of mind and every little bit helps. Turns out the drag bar on my car hits the cover every once in a while, must be when I hit a bit bump or something. I'm wondering if the Detroit Speed drag bar position is further from the rear end cover?

No clearance issues that I know. Here’s some pics of it in the ground.
Its crazy how a few mods can get you rolling that good and youre not even done yet. My LT1 has run like a 13.05 off the gas due to too much gear/short tire. Youre over a second and a half faster than me!!! I think that 550 lbs accounts for a lot of that but im not making up 15 mph without some serious changes.
Ha! Sorry. Parts laying around waiting to be put on. It’s hot in Florida now so I plan to take the summer aka “off season” to work on the car and get it ready for race season again next year.
