Well if you figure it was down a hole and making 1750hp on 7 than we're down 250. So really we have another 500-600.

I'm guessing you have a big spacer(s) on those bolts to shim the heim to the width of the stock control arm mount? Can you post a pic of your mount where those bolts were?

Next race is going to be interesting. We made some changes to the suspension that will get us to our 1.20 60' goal. Now we just need to tune it.

Great news is we figured out the problem with the car not going WOT. Initally between the three Brians(madman,fireball, and my buddy sanford) and Shawn Miller they all thought that the driver was too short. Well I wasn't too short. The Pedal was hitting the mounting structure on the firewall preventing it from pulling the cable far enough. The TB was closed 1/8-3/16" from WOT. I adjusted the pull linkage and it works fine now with 1/8" to spare.
