Default .................NEW BEST...................
Ran today at MIM 3...

Ran 2 good passes for the day....

11.61@117.5 with a 1.62 60ft.....

11.65@117.1 with a 1.60 60ft.....

Both were off the transbrake...

I assume its not 60 footing in the 1.5's because of the nitrous converter...

Your launches looked awsome! You pulled both wheels, and it looked like it would be a low 11sec run <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Did you auto tap?

Yea, I forget to add it, I always knew the left side came up...but thats awesome that both came up..

The main problem with it is that the converter is really really tight, its a 3500 spray converter...

My car is setup for nitrous...its got 3.73's and such...

If I had my old JW 4500 converter and a 4.10 gear for an all motor setup 11.3's at like 3550 aren't too hard to imagine....

I can't wait to see what mine will do on spray.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Your old JW converter is kicking *** in my car. I'm about to try out the juice on it too.
