How many passes did you get out of it? I've got almost the same setup as you -some bolt on's... I"m hoping to get a few passes out of the stocker as I plan on dumping it at 5500-6000

That is impressive, and a good advertisement for a driveshaft loop. I hope you had one. That will make a nice conversation piece.

SPEEDYws6- I have around 50 passes on the car. That was about the 5th pass were is dead hooked.

Yeah I had a DS loop in the car. It held everything in one place until it quit wipping around.

The car would do consistant mind 12.50's at 108ish. That was on a 1.8X 60ft. The best 60ft. has been a 1.77 but I missed 4th on that run.

Hehe, I wish it was just coffee. I was running around to pull him through the water box and them watch him go. It also didn't help that there were 6 or 7 freakin people in the timing box where I took the video.

No more Aluminum for me. .095" wall Steel with 1350 Yokes all around.

1scrudedude- Yeah that would be a pucker factor of 10 if that was to happen.

I never got good launches by dumping my clutch anyway, I will always slip some.

That must suck anyway, sorry to see it.
